## Description

usr/mgmt\_ipc.c in iscsid in open-iscsi (iscsi-initiator-utils) before
2.0-865 checks the client's UID on the listening AF\_LOCAL socket instead of
the new connection, which allows remote attackers to access the management
interface and cause a denial of service (iscsid exit or iSCSI connection
loss).
