Debian DLA-314-1 : cups security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 86127

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Petr Sklenar of Red Hat discovered that the texttopdf tool, part of cups filters, was susceptible to multiple heap-based buffer and integer overflows due to improper handling of print jobs. This could allow remote attackers to crash texttopdf or possibly execute arbitrary code.

For Debian 6 'Squeeze', this issue has been fixed in cups version 1.4.4-7+squeeze10. For Wheezy and Jessie, this has been fixed in the cups-filter package. We recommend you to upgrade your cups packages.

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.
