+------------------------------------------------------------------------+

  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
    EnGarde Secure Professional v1.2
    EnGarde Secure Professional v1.5

  It is recommended that all users apply this update.
