IMPACT:
DoS

WHERE:
Local system

OPERATING SYSTEM:

DESCRIPTION:
SUSE has issued an update for open-iscsi. This fixes some security
issues, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to cause a
DoS (Denial of Service),

1) Permissions of users connecting to the local AF_LOCAL management
socket are incorrectly checked, which can be exploited to perform
certain operations that may cause a DoS.

permissions. This can be exploited to cause a DoS by modifying the
semaphore.

Apply patches.
