Description Leonard den Ottolander 2005-02-25 22:03:57 UTC
http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-0373

Affects RHL 9 and FC 1. Please check whether it affects RHL 7.3.

Comment 2 Leonard den Ottolander 2005-02-28 22:05:55 UTC
https://bugzilla.andrew.cmu.edu/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/sasl/plugins/digestmd5.c#rev1.171
:

        * plugins/digestmd5.c: Fix potential buffer overflow, call
          add_to_challenge in 2 more places (Alexey Melnikov

So indeed the issue seems to be the sprintf(text->outbuf)s, not the
quoting.


Comment 3 Leonard den Ottolander 2005-03-01 22:03:13 UTC
Alexey Melnikov verified that this issue only exists in rev 1.170 of
digestmd5.c. Official releases are hence not vulnerable.

Closing NOTABUG.
