Detail

Integer overflow in the TIFF image decoding routines in CUPS 1.3.9 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted TIFF image, which is not properly handled by the (1) _cupsImageReadTIFF function in the imagetops filter and (2) imagetoraster filter, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow.

Title: DSA-1773-1 cups -- integer overflow
Description: It was discovered that the imagetops filter in cups, the Common UNIX Printing System, is prone to an integer overflow when reading malicious TIFF images. For the stable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 1.3.8-1lenny5. For the oldstable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 1.2.7-4etch7. For the testing distribution and the unstable distribution , this problem will be fixed soon. We recommend that you upgrade your cups packages.

Description: It was discovered that CUPS did not properly check the height of TIFF images. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a crafted TIFF image file, a remote attacker could cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code with user privileges. In Ubuntu 7.10, 8.04 LTS, and 8.10, attackers would be isolated by the AppArmor CUPS profile.

Id Description
54462 CUPS TIFF Image Decoding Routines Multiple Filter File Handling Overflows

A remote overflow exists in CUPS. CUPS fails to handle a integer overflow in processing TIFF files resulting in a heaped-based buffer overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can cause execution of arbitrary code resulting in a loss of integrity.
