Synopsis |
19 |
======== |
20 |
|
21 |
A vulnerability in CUPS allows remote attackers to cause a denial of |
22 |
service when sending a carefully-crafted UDP packet to the IPP port. |
23 |
|
24 |
Background |
25 |
========== |
26 |
|
27 |
The Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) is a cross-platform print |
28 |
spooler. |

Description |
39 |
=========== |
40 |
|
41 |
Alvaro Martinez Echevarria discovered a hole in the CUPS Internet |
42 |
Printing Protocol (IPP) implementation that allows remote attackers to |
43 |
cause CUPS to stop listening on the IPP port. This can be caused by |
44 |
sending an empty UDP datagram packet to the IPP port. |
45 |
|
46 |
Impact |
47 |
====== |
48 |
|
49 |
A remote user with malicious intent can easily cause a denial of |
50 |
service to the CUPS daemon. |
51 |
|
52 |
Workaround |
53 |
========== |
54 |
|
55 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
56 |
|
57 |
Resolution |
58 |
========== |
59 |
|
60 |
All CUPS users should upgrade to the latest version: |
61 |
|
62 |
# emerge sync |
63 |
|
64 |
# emerge -pv ">=net-print/cups-1.1.20-r2" |
65 |
# emerge ">=net-print/cups-1.1.20-r2" |
66 |
