CVE-2003-0777
saned in sane-backends 1.0.7 and earlier, when debug messages are enabled, does not properly handle dropped connections, which can prevent strings from being null terminated and cause a denial of service (segmentation fault).
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.82%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
