(RHSA-2007:0497) Moderate: iscsi-initiator-utils security update

The iscsi package provides the server daemon for the iSCSI protocol, as
well as the utility programs used to manage it. iSCSI is a protocol for
distributed disk access using SCSI commands sent over Internet Protocol
networks.

Olaf Kirch discovered two flaws in open-iscsi. A local attacker could use
these flaws to cause the server daemon to stop responding, leading to a
denial of service. (CVE-2007-3099, CVE-2007-3100).

All users of open-iscsi should upgrade to this updated package which
resolves these issues.

Note: This issue did not affect Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1, 3, or 4.
open-iscsi is available in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 as a Technology
Preview.
