Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.51474
Category:Conectiva Local Security Checks
Title:Conectiva Security Advisory CLA-2003:769
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory CLA-2003:769.

SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) is an interface to both local and
networked scanners and other image acquisition devices. The sane
package contains several scanner drivers, utilities and saned, a
application that allows the sharing of scanners across a network.

This update fixes several vulnerabilities in the sane package:

- Remote vulnerabilities in saned. These vulnerabilities can be
exploited by remote attackers to cause a denial of service or even
execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running saned
(which is usually root). The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned[1,2,3,4,5,6] the names
CVE-2003-0773, CVE-2003-0774, CVE-2003-0775, CVE-2003-0776,
CVE-2003-0777 and CVE-2003-0778 to these issues.

- Temporary file handling vulnerabilities (does not affect Conectiva
Linux 9). In several sane backends (drivers), temporary files are
created in an unsafe manner. A local attacker can exploit these
vulnerabilities to overwrite arbitrary system or user files. The
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
assigned the name CVE-2001-0890[7] to this issue.

The Conectiva Linux 9 package (sane-1.0.9) also includes fixes for a
bug[8] in the plustek driver which may cause hardware damage in EPSON
1260 scanners (previous versions do not contain the driver).


Solution:
The apt tool can be used to perform RPM package upgrades
by running 'apt-get update' followed by 'apt-get upgrade'
