Debian DLA-22-1 : cups security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 82170

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It was discovered that the web interface in CUPS, the Common UNIX Printing System, incorrectly validated permissions on rss files and directory index files. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass file permissions and read arbitrary files, possibly leading to a privilege escalation.

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

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
