Description:
Red Hat has issued an update for iscsi-initiator-utils. 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.
2) The logging mechanism creates a semaphore with insecure permissions. This can be exploited to cause a DoS by modifying the semaphore.
Solution:
Updated packages are available from Red Hat Network.
