CVE-2023-46047: Input Validation

First published: Wed Mar 27 2024(Updated: )

An issue in Sane 1.2.1 allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary code via a crafted file to the sanei_configure_attach() function. NOTE: this is disputed because there is no expectation that the product should be starting with an attacker-controlled configuration file.
