1. Topic:
Updated SANE packages that resolve a number of vulnerabilities
with the saned daemon are now available.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Linux 7.1 – i386
Red Hat Linux 7.1 for iSeries (64 bit) – ppc
Red Hat Linux 7.1 for pSeries (64 bit) – ppc
Red Hat Linux 7.2 – i386, ia64
Red Hat Linux 7.3 – i386
Red Hat Linux 8.0 – i386
3. Problem description:
SANE is a package for using document scanners.
Sane includes a daemon program (called saned) that enables a
single machine connected to a scanner to be used remotely. This
program contains several vulnerabilities.
NOTE: Although the SANE packages include this program, it is not
used by default under Red Hat Linux.
The IP address of the remote host is only checked after the
first communication occurs, causing saned.conf restrictions to be
ineffective for the first communication. The Common Vulnerabilities
and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org/) has assigned the name
CAN-2003-0773 to this issue.
A connection that is dropped early causes one of several
problems. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
(cve.mitre.org/) has assigned
the names CAN-2003-0774, CAN-2003-0775, and CAN-2003-0777 to these
issues.
Lack of error checking can cause various other unfavorable
consequences. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
(cve.mitre.org/) has assigned
the names CAN-2003-0776 and CAN-2003-0778 to these issues.
Additionally, the updated packages for Red Hat Linux 8.0 include
a fix for a bug that could cause hardware damage to Epson 1260
scanners. Releases prior to Red Hat Linux 8.0 are unaffected by
this issue. Red Hat Linux 9 is affected by this, but will be
covered by a separate advisory.
Users of SANE (particularly those that use saned for remote
scanner access) should upgrade to these errata packages, which
resolve these issues.
4. Solution:
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:
rpm -Fvh [filenames]
where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade.
Only those RPMs which are currently installed will be updated.
Those RPMs which are not installed but included in the list will
not be updated. Note that you can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if
your current directory only contains the desired RPMs.
Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat
Network. Many people find this an easier way to apply updates. To
use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the
following command:
up2date
This will start an interactive process that will result in the
appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system.
If up2date fails to connect to Red Hat Network due to SSL
Certificate Errors, you need to install a version of the up2date
client with an updated certificate. The latest version of up2date
is available from the Red Hat FTP site and may also be downloaded
directly from the RHN website:
