CVE-2020-12863

An out-of-bounds read in SANE Backends before 1.0.30 may allow a malicious device connected to the same local network as the victim to read important information, such as the ASLR offsets of the program, aka GHSL-2020-083.

Mitigation

This flaw can be mitigated by limiting network scanner discovery to a trusted subnet via the "net" configuration in the "/etc/sane.d/epsonds.conf" configuration file. Also automatic network scanner discovery can be turned off by commenting out the line "net autodiscovery" in the same configuration file.
