SANE Daemon Connected User Memory Consumption Denial Of Service Vulnerability

A problem has been discovered in the handling of memory by SANE. This could be an issue if saned is running as a service, through a super-server such as inetd or xinetd. Because of this, it is possible for an attacker to deny service to legitimate users of a system by causing large amounts of memory to be allocated.
