Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : cups (MDKSA-2006:010)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 20476

Synopsis

The remote Mandrake Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in the DCTStream::readProgressiveSOF and DCTStream::readBaselineSOF functions in the DCT stream parsing code (Stream.cc) in xpdf 3.01 and earlier, allow user-complicit attackers to cause a denial of service (heap corruption) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF file with an out-of-range number of components (numComps), which is used as an array index. (CVE-2005-3191)

Heap-based buffer overflow in the StreamPredictor function in Xpdf 3.01 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a PDF file with an out-of-range numComps (number of components) field.
(CVE-2005-3192)

Heap-based buffer overflow in the JPXStream::readCodestream function in the JPX stream parsing code (JPXStream.c) for xpdf 3.01 and earlier allows user-complicit attackers to cause a denial of service (heap corruption) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF file with large size values that cause insufficient memory to be allocated.
(CVE-2005-3193)

An additional patch re-addresses memory allocation routines in goo/gmem.c (Martin Pitt/Canonical, Dirk Mueller/KDE).

In addition, Chris Evans discovered several other vulnerabilities in the xpdf code base :

Out-of-bounds heap accesses with large or negative parameters to 'FlateDecode' stream. (CVE-2005-3192)

Out-of-bounds heap accesses with large or negative parameters to 'CCITTFaxDecode' stream. (CVE-2005-3624)

Infinite CPU spins in various places when stream ends unexpectedly.
(CVE-2005-3625)

NULL pointer crash in the 'FlateDecode' stream. (CVE-2005-3626)

Overflows of compInfo array in 'DCTDecode' stream. (CVE-2005-3627)

Possible to use index past end of array in 'DCTDecode' stream.
(CVE-2005-3627)

Possible out-of-bounds indexing trouble in 'DCTDecode' stream.
(CVE-2005-3627)

CUPS uses an embedded copy of the xpdf code, with the same vulnerabilities.

The updated packages have been patched to correct these problems.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
