low Nessus Plugin ID 25558

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Several local and remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in open-iscsi, a transport-independent iSCSI implementation. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

- CVE-2007-3099 Olaf Kirch discovered that due to a programming error access to the management interface socket was insufficiently protected, which allows denial of service.

- CVE-2007-3100 Olaf Kirch discovered that access to a semaphore used in the logging code was insufficiently protected, allowing denial of service.

The oldstable distribution (sarge) doesn't include open-iscsi.

Solution

Upgrade the open-iscsi packages.

For the stable distribution (etch) these problems have been fixed in version 2.0.730-1etch1.
