Detail

Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in cups:

CUPS in does not properly handle (1) HTTP headers and (2) HTML templates, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks and HTTP response splitting attacks via vectors related to (a) the product's web interface, (b) the configuration of the print system, and (c) the titles of printed jobs (CVE-2009-2820).

The _cupsGetlang function, as used by lppasswd.c in lppasswd in CUPS 1.2.2, 1.3.7, 1.3.9, and 1.4.1, relies on an environment variable to determine the file that provides localized message strings, which allows local users to gain privileges via a file that contains crafted localization data with format string specifiers (CVE-2010-0393).

The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

Title: DSA-2007-1 cups -- format string vulnerability
Description: Ronald Volgers discovered that the lppasswd component of the cups suite, the Common UNIX Printing System, is vulnerable to format string attacks due to insecure use of the LOCALEDIR environment variable. An attacker can abuse this behaviour to execute arbitrary code via crafted localization files and triggering calls to _cupsLangprintf. This works as the lppasswd binary happens to be installed with setuid 0 permissions. For the stable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 1.3.8-1+lenny8. For the testing distribution this problem will be fixed soon. For the unstable distribution this problem has been fixed in version 1.4.2-9.1. We recommend that you upgrade your cups packages.

Title: USN-906-1 -- cups, cupsys vulnerabilities
Description: It was discovered that the CUPS scheduler did not properly handle certain network operations. A remote attacker could exploit this flaw and cause the CUPS server to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, 8.10, 9.04 and 9.10. Ronald Volgers discovered that the CUPS lppasswd tool could be made to load localized message strings from arbitrary files by setting an environment variable. A local attacker could exploit this with a format-string vulnerability leading to a root privilege escalation. The default compiler options for Ubuntu 8.10, 9.04 and 9.10 should reduce this vulnerability to a denial of service
