<p>Cyrus-SASL is an implementation of the Simple Authentication and
Security Layer.

<description>
<p>In the GNU C Library (glibc) from version 2.17 onwards, the crypt()
function call can return NULL when the salt violates specifications or
the system is in FIPS-140 mode and a DES or MD5 hashed password is
passed. When Cyrus-SASLs authentication mechanisms call crypt(), a
NULL may be returned.

<impact type="normal">
<p>A remote attacker could trigger this vulnerability to cause a Denial of
Service condition.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>All Cyrus-SASL users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-libs/cyrus-sasl-2.1.26-r3"
</code>
