critical Nessus Plugin ID 27845

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Secunia reports :

Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in CUPS, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the 'ippReadIO()' function in cups/ipp.c when processing IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) tags. This can be exploited to overwrite one byte on the stack with a zero by sending an IPP request containing specially crafted 'textWithLanguage' or 'nameWithLanguage' tags.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

Solution

Update the affected package.
