DSA-950-1 cupsys Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment "infamous41md" and Chris Evans discovered several heap based buffer overflows in xpdf which are also present in CUPS, the Common UNIX Printing System, and which can lead to a denial of service by crashing the application or possibly to the execution of arbitrary code. For the old stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 1.1.14-5woody14. CUPS doesn't use the xpdf source anymore since 1.1.22-7, when it switched to using xpdf-utils for PDF processing. We recommend that you upgrade your CUPS packages.
