Detail

Problem Description:

Updated CUPS packages that fix a security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.

This update has been rated as having moderate 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. Problem description:

The Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) provides a portable printing layer for UNIX(R) operating systems.

When processing a request, the CUPS scheduler would use case-sensitive matching on the queue name to decide which authorization policy should be used. However, queue names are not case-sensitive. An unauthorized user could print to a password-protected queue without needing a password. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project has assigned the name CAN-2005-2154 to this issue.

Please note that the version of CUPS included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 is not vulnerable to this issue.

All users of CUPS should upgrade to these erratum packages which contain a backported patch to correct this issue.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. Use Red Hat Network to download and update your packages. To launch the Red Hat Update Agent, use the following command:

up2date

5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

17716 osTicket open.php Arbitrary Local File Inclusion

osTicket contains a flaw that may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands. The issue is due to the 'open.php' script not properly sanitizing user-supplied input. This may allow a remote attacker to send a specially crafted URL to include a file from the local host that contains arbitrary commands which will be executed by the vulnerable script.
17715 osTicket view.php inc Variable Arbitrary Local File Inclusion

osTicket contains a flaw that may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands. The issue is due to the 'view.php' script not properly sanitizing user input supplied to the 'inc' variable. This may allow a remote attacker to send a specially crafted URL to include a file from the local host that contains arbitrary commands which will be executed by the vulnerable script.
