Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in CUPS, allowing for the |
19 |
remote execution of arbitrary code and a Denial of Service. |
20 |
|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |
23 |
|
24 |
CUPS provides a portable printing layer for UNIX-based operating |
25 |
systems. |

Description |
36 |
=========== |
37 |
|
38 |
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in CUPS: |
39 |
|
40 |
* regenrecht (VeriSign iDefense) discovered that the |
41 |
cgiCompileSearch() function used in several CGI scripts in CUPS' |
42 |
administration interface does not correctly calculate boundaries when |
43 |
processing a user-provided regular expression, leading to a |
44 |
heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2008-0047). |
45 |
|
46 |
* Helge Blischke reported a double free() vulnerability in the |
47 |
process_browse_data() function when adding or removing remote shared |
48 |
printers (CVE-2008-0882). |
49 |
|
50 |
* Tomas Hoger (Red Hat) reported that the gif_read_lzw() function |
51 |
uses the code_size value from GIF images without properly checking |
52 |
it, leading to a buffer overflow (CVE-2008-1373). |
53 |
|
54 |
* An unspecified input validation error was discovered in the HP-GL/2 |
55 |
filter (CVE-2008-0053). |

Impact |
58 |
====== |
59 |
|
60 |
A local attacker could send specially crafted network packets or print |
61 |
jobs and possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the |
62 |
user running CUPS (usually lp), or cause a Denial of Service. The |
63 |
vulnerabilities are exploitable via the network when CUPS is sharing |
64 |
printers remotely. |
65 |
|
66 |
Workaround |
67 |
========== |
68 |
|
69 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
70 |
|
71 |
Resolution |
72 |
========== |
73 |
|
74 |
All CUPS users should upgrade to the latest version: |
75 |
|
76 |
# emerge --sync |
77 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-print/cups-1.2.12-r7" |
78 |
