open-isns

The open-isns tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about the open-isns library and tooling, which is commonly paired with Open-iSCSI on Linux. Recent content focuses on CVE-2026-55995, a denial-of-service vulnerability in the iSNS attribute decoder, and clarifies that this flaw affects open-isns, not Microsoft's Windows iSCSI Initiator. The tag highlights the upstream fix in the open-iscsi project's open-isns repository, the lack of a new tagged release, and the challenges for distribution package maintainers and administrators in verifying whether their builds include the repair. It also notes Microsoft's Security Update Guide entry for the CVE, which describes a double-free issue and labels it as affecting open-iscsi.
