1. Summary:

An updated scsi-target-utils package that fixes multiple security issues is
now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

3. Description:

The scsi-target-utils package contains the daemon and tools to set up and
monitor SCSI targets. Currently, iSCSI software and iSER targets are
supported.

Multiple buffer overflow flaws were found in scsi-target-utils' tgtd
daemon. A remote attacker could trigger these flaws by sending a
carefully-crafted Internet Storage Name Service (iSNS) request, causing the
tgtd daemon to crash. (CVE-2010-2221)

Red Hat would like to thank the Vulnerability Research Team at TELUS
Security Labs and Fujita Tomonori for responsibly reporting these flaws.

All scsi-target-utils users should upgrade to this updated package, which

scsi-target-utils services must be restarted for the update to take effect.
