NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream sane-backends package and not the sane-backends package as distributed by Debian.

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-2020-081.
