    Description

      On macOS, any time a SASL exchange happens in tests, e.g. cpp-example-container or qpid dispatch tests, or when cpp/examples/simple_send connects to cpp/examples/broker, the broker crashes with the following stack trace

      AddressSanitizer (Valgrind does not run on most recent macOS releases) points out the reason.

      The problem is that mechlist is (on my machine)

      "SRP SRP GS2-IAKERB GS2-KRB5 SCRAM-SHA-1 SCRAM-SHA-256 SCRAM-SHA-256 SCRAM-SHA-1 GS2-KRB5 GS2-IAKERB GSS-SPNEGO GSSAPI GSS-SPNEGO GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 DIGEST-MD5 OTP OTP NTLM CRAM-MD5 NTLM CRAM-MD5 ANONYMOUS ANONYMOUS"
      

      which is over the limit of 16.

      This is not a security issue, because the mechanism list is created on server based on what cyrus-sasl mechs are installed. It is not based on data sent over the network.
