Synopsis
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Several remotely exploitable bugs have been found in CUPS, which allow
remote execution of arbitrary code.
Background
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
CUPS is the Common Unix Printing System.
Affected packages
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

Description
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Several buffer overflows were found in:
* The read_rle16 function in imagetops (CVE-2008-3639, found by
regenrecht, reported via ZDI)
* The WriteProlog function in texttops (CVE-2008-3640, found by
regenrecht, reported via ZDI)
* The Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language (HPGL) filter (CVE-2008-3641,
found by regenrecht, reported via iDefense)
* The _cupsImageReadPNG function (CVE-2008-5286, reported by iljavs)
Impact
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
A remote attacker could send specially crafted input to a vulnerable
server, resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary code with the
privileges of the user running the server.
Workaround
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
None this time.
Resolution
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
All CUPS users should upgrade to the latest version.
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=3Dnet-print/cups-1.3.9-r1"
