CVE-2023-46052: Sane-Project Sane Backends

High severity, CVSS 7.1. EPSS: 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Sane 1.2.1 heap bounds overwrite in init_options() from backend/test.c via a long init_mode string in a configuration file. NOTE: this is disputed because there is no expectation that test.c code should be executed with an attacker-controlled configuration file.
