CUPS < 1.4.5 Multiple Vulnerabilities

critical Nessus Plugin ID 50844

Language:

Synopsis

The remote print service is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its banner, the version of CUPS installed on the remote host is prior to 1.4.5. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- A use-after-free error exists due to improper allocation of memory for attribute values with invalid string data types. A remote attacker can exploit this, via a crafted IPP request, to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2010-2941)

- An overflow condition exists in the PPD compiler due to improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can exploit this to dereference already freed memory, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code.

Solution

Upgrade to CUPS version 1.4.5 or later.
