EnGarde Secure Linux is an enterprise class Linux platform engineered
to enable corporations to quickly and cost-effectively build a complete
and secure Internet presence while preventing Internet threats.
OVERVIEW
- --------
On September 30, 2003, ESA-20030930-027 was released to address ASN.1
parsing vulnerabilities discovered by a testing suite developed by
the NISCC (UK National Infrastructure Security Co-Ordination Centre).
Novell, Inc. has performed further testing using this suite and has
discovered another potential denial of service attack. This
vulnerability (triggered by certain ASN.1 sequences which cause a large
recursion) is only believed to be exploitable as a denial of service
on the Windows platform at this time.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
assigned the name CAN-2003-0851 to this issue.
Guardian Digital products affected by this issue include:
EnGarde Secure Community v1.0.1
EnGarde Secure Community 2
EnGarde Secure Professional v1.1

It is recommended that all users apply this update.
