tgt vulnerabilities
=========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 11.04
- Ubuntu 10.10

Summary:

An attacker could send crafted input to tgt and cause it to crash or run
arbitrary programs.

Software Description:

Details:

It was discovered that tgt incorrectly handled long iSCSI name strings, and
invalid PDUs. A remote attacker could exploit this to cause tgt to crash,
resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This
issue only affected Ubuntu 10.10. (CVE-2010-2221)
