  It was discovered that the Cyrus SASL library (cyrus-sasl) does not always
  reliably terminate output from the sasl_encode64() function used by
  programs using this library. The Cyrus IMAP server (cyrus-imapd) relied on
  this function's output being properly terminated. Under certain conditions,
  improperly terminated output from sasl_encode64() could, potentially, cause
  cyrus-imapd to crash, disclose portions of its memory, or lead to SASL
  authentication failures. (CVE-2009-0688)
