The remote Oracle Linux host is missing a security update.

Description

From Red Hat Security Advisory 2010:0362 :

An updated scsi-target-utils package that fixes one security issue is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having important security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section.

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.

A format string flaw was found in scsi-target-utils' tgtd daemon. A remote attacker could trigger this flaw by sending a carefully-crafted Internet Storage Name Service (iSNS) request, causing the tgtd daemon to crash. (CVE-2010-0743)

All scsi-target-utils users should upgrade to this updated package, which contains a backported patch to correct this issue. All running scsi-target-utils services must be restarted for the update to take effect.
