saned in sane-backends 1.0.25 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive memory information via a crafted SANE_NET_CONTROL_OPTION packet.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - saned in sane-backends 1.0.25 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive memory information via a crafted     SANE_NET_CONTROL_OPTION packet. (CVE-2017-6318)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

According to the versions of the sane-backends packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - saned in sane-backends 1.0.25 allows remote attackers     to obtain sensitive memory information via a crafted     SANE_NET_CONTROL_OPTION packet.(CVE-2017-6318)

  - A NULL pointer dereference in sanei_epson_net_read in     SANE Backends before 1.0.30 allows a malicious device     connected to the same local network as the victim to     cause a denial of service, aka     GHSL-2020-075.(CVE-2020-12867)

This update for sane-backends fixes the following issues :

sane-backends version upgrade to 1.0.31 :

  - sane-backends version upgrade to 1.0.30 fixes memory     corruption bugs CVE-2020-12861, CVE-2020-12862,     CVE-2020-12863, CVE-2020-12864, CVE-2020-12865,     CVE-2020-12866, CVE-2020-12867 (bsc#1172524)

  - sane-backends version upgrade to 1.0.31 to further     improve hardware enablement for scanner devices     (jsc#SLE-15561 and jsc#SLE-15560 with jsc#ECO-2418)

  - The new escl backend cannot be provided for SLE12     because it requires more additional software     (avahi-client, libcurl, and libpoppler-glib-devel) where     in particular for libcurl the one that is in SLE12 (via     libcurl-devel-7.37.0) is likely too old because with     that building the escl backend fails with     'escl/escl.c:1267:34: error: 'CURLOPT_UNIX_SOCKET_PATH'     undeclared curl_easy_setopt(handle,     CURLOPT_UNIX_SOCKET_PATH'
