CVE-2013-7239

From upstream release notes for 1.4.17[1] it states "The other notable
bug is a SASL authentication bypass glitch. If a client makes an
invalid request with SASL credentials, it will initially fail. However
if you issue a second request with bad SASL credentials, it will
authenticate. This has now been fixed.".

The upstream bugreport is at [2], with the corresponding commit fixing
this issue at [3].
