Bug#758660: sasl2-bin: saslauthd "Memory buffer error"

[Martin Sebald]

Package: sasl2-bin
Version: 2.1.26.dfsg1-11
Severity: important

Hi,

the saslauthd fails here on our mail server for weeks now. It seems that after
a certain amount of login (successful and tries) a limit is reached and the
daemon silently (!) fails - people cannot log into SASL-Auth anymore.

I see the following in the log:

Aug 19 19:44:41 server saslauthd[25483]: DEBUG: auth_pam: pam_authenticate
failed: Memory buffer error

After restarting everything works again until it happens again.

We use cron to restart saslauthd every hour now, the only solution at the moment.

Cheers,
Martin
