Ubuntu 6.06 LTS / 6.10 / 7.04 / 7.10 : cupsys vulnerability (USN-539-1)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 28146

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

Alin Rad Pop discovered that CUPS did not correctly validate buffer lengths when processing IPP tags. Remote attackers successfully exploiting this vulnerability would gain access to the non-root CUPS user in Ubuntu 6.06 LTS, 6.10, and 7.04. In Ubuntu 7.10, attackers would be isolated by the AppArmor CUPS profile.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
