CONECTIVA LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
PACKAGE : cups
SUMMARY : Buffer Overflow
DATE : 2002-04-03 10:57:00
ID : CLA-2002:471
RELEVANT
RELEASES : 6.0, 7.0
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION
CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System) is an open-source, freely
available and cross-platform printing solution for UNIX
environments.
The CUPS authors found two buffer overflows in the IPP code. These
buffer overflows potentially could be exploited by a remote attacker
whose IP address is allowed to access the CUPS server, allowing
him/her to execute arbitrary code in that server.
This vulnerability[1] affects[2] all versions of CUPS prior to 1.1.4.
SOLUTION
All users should do the upgrade. Please note that the printer daemon
must be manually restarted after the upgrade. This can be done with
the command shown below (executed as root):
# service cups restart
