Ubuntu 6.06 LTS / 7.04 / 7.10 : cupsys vulnerability (USN-606-1)
medium Nessus Plugin ID 32186
Synopsis
The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.Description
Thomas Pollet discovered that CUPS did not properly validate the size of PNG images. A local attacker, and a remote attacker if printer sharing is enabled, could send a crafted file and cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code as the non-root user in Ubuntu 6.06 LTS and 7.04. In Ubuntu 7.10, attackers would be isolated by the AppArmor CUPS profile. (CVE-2008-1722).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.
