Summary

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 contains a backported patch to correct these issues. All running scsi-target-utils services must be restarted for the update to take effect.
