Detail
| Problem Description: Updated cups packages that fixes two security issues and a bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3. This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 3 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Desktop version 3 - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64 3. Description: The Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) provides a portable printing layer for UNIX(R) operating systems. A flaw was found in the way CUPS handled the addition and removal of remote shared printers via IPP. A remote attacker could send malicious UDP IPP packets causing the CUPS daemon to attempt to dereference already freed memory and crash. (CVE-2008-0597) A memory management flaw was found in the way CUPS handled the addition and removal of remote shared printers via IPP. When shared printer was removed, allocated memory was not properly freed, leading to a memory leak possibly causing CUPS daemon crash after exhausting available memory. (CVE-2008-0596) These issues were found during the investigation of CVE-2008-0882, which did not affect Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3. Note that the default configuration of CUPS on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 allow requests of this type only from the local subnet. In addition, these updated cups packages fix a bug that occurred when using the CUPS polling daemon. Excessive debugging log information was saved to the error_log file regardless of the LogLevel setting, which filled up disk space rapidly. All CUPS users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to resolve this issue. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_58_10188 5. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/): 246545 - Cups fills up logfiles if queue is turned on 433825 - CVE-2008-0596 cups: memory leak handling IPP browse requests 433847 - CVE-2008-0597 cups: dereference of free'd memory handling IPP browse requests |
