TITLE:
OpenLinux update for saned

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA10939

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/10939/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
DoS

WHERE:
From local network

OPERATING SYSTEM:
OpenLinux Workstation 3.x
OpenLinux Server 3.x

DESCRIPTION:
SCO has issued updated packages for sane. These fix several
vulnerabilities, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause
a DoS (Denial of Service).

The vulnerabilities are caused due to various errors that all can be
exploited to either crash the service or cause it to consume an
excessive amount of memory.

Successful exploitation requires that saned is running but the
malicious system does not have to be listed in "saned.conf".

SOLUTION:
Apply updated packages.
