GLSA-200904-20 : CUPS: Multiple vulnerabilities

medium Nessus Plugin ID 38161

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200904-20 (CUPS: Multiple vulnerabilities)

 The following issues were reported in CUPS:
 iDefense reported an integer overflow in the _cupsImageReadTIFF() function in the 'imagetops' filter, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2009-0163).
 Aaron Siegel of Apple Product Security reported that the CUPS web interface does not verify the content of the 'Host' HTTP header properly (CVE-2009-0164).
 Braden Thomas and Drew Yao of Apple Product Security reported that CUPS is vulnerable to CVE-2009-0146, CVE-2009-0147 and CVE-2009-0166, found earlier in xpdf and poppler.
 Impact :

 A remote attacker might send or entice a user to send a specially crafted print job to CUPS, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the configured CUPS user -- by default this is 'lp', or a Denial of Service. Furthermore, the web interface could be used to conduct DNS rebinding attacks.
 Workaround :

 There is no known workaround at this time.

Solution

All CUPS users should upgrade to the latest version:
 # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=net-print/cups-1.3.10'
