A Denial of Service vulnerability has been discovered in the SASL authentication library when using the DIGEST-MD5 plugin. By sending a specially crafted realm name, a malicious SASL server could exploit this to crash the application that uses SASL.
Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
