Mandriva: Updated cups packages fix multiple vulnerabilities Print E-mail
User Rating:      How can I rate this item?
Posted by Benjamin D. Thomas   
Mandrake Dave Camp at Critical Path Software discovered a buffer overflow in CUPS 1.1.23 and earlier could allow local admin users to execute arbitrary code via a crafted URI to the CUPS service (CVE-2007-5848). The Red Hat Security Team also found two flaws in CUPS 1.1.x where a malicious user on the local subnet could send a set of carefully crafted IPP packets to the UDP port in such a way as to cause CUPS to crash (CVE-2008-0597) or consume memory and lead to a CUPS crash (CVE-2008-0596).

 Problem Description:
 
 Dave Camp at Critical Path Software discovered a buffer overflow
 in CUPS 1.1.23 and earlier could allow local admin users to execute
 arbitrary code via a crafted URI to the CUPS service (CVE-2007-5848).
 
 The Red Hat Security Team also found two flaws in CUPS 1.1.x where
 a malicious user on the local subnet could send a set of carefully
 crafted IPP packets to the UDP port in such a way as to cause CUPS
 to crash (CVE-2008-0597) or consume memory and lead to a CUPS crash
 (CVE-2008-0596).
 
 Finally, another flaw was found in how CUPS handled the addition and
 removal of remote printers via IPP that could allow a remote attacker
 to send a malicious IPP packet to the UDP port causing CUPS to crash
 (CVE-2008-0882).
 
 The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.
