Hi everyone, There was a long-standing bug in saned that allowed to alloc huge amounts of memory on the server by simply sending big string (or array) sizes. I've now limited the total size of malloced arrays (and pointers) by sanei_wire to 1 MB in CVS.
This limit applies e.g. to usernames (in SANE_NET_INIT) and options (e.g. gamma curves). Please test if your backend still works over the net. If you get the following error, you may have found a bug or a really big option value: [sanei_wire] sanei_w_array: DECODE: maximum amount of allocated memory exceeded (limit: 1048576, new allocation: 4294967295, total: 1048575 bytes) Do "make clean" before "make" otherwise the changes caused by the header file won't be picked up. Bye, Henning
