Detail

This update corrects a library dependency for the libcupsys2 package which sneaked in with the last security update to CUPS for the stable distribution (woody).

The original advisory DSA 232-1 stated:

Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in the Common Unix Printing System (CUPS). Several of these issues represent the potential for a remote compromise or denial of service. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the problems listed above.

10747 pdftops ColorSpace Entry Elements Local Overflow

10744 CUPS File/Socket Return Value File Descriptor Consumption DoS

10743 CUPS image-gif.c Zero-Length GIF Image Header Arbitrary Code Execution

CUPS contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user to execute arbitrary code. The issue is due to image-gif.c improperly handling zero width GIF images. By sending a specially crafted image with the chunk headers, a remote attacker can corrupt memory and execute arbitrary code, resulting in a loss of integrity.
10742 CUPS jobs.c Options Strings Remote Overflow

A remote overflow exists in CUPS, which fails to check user-supplied input for printer attributes before being passed to the strncpy() function, resulting in a buffer overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can cause stack corruption allowing them to crash the service or potentially execute arbitrary code.
