CUPS: Multiple vulnerabilities Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200412-25 (CUPS: Multiple vulnerabilities) CUPS makes use of vulnerable Xpdf code to handle PDF files (CVE-2004-1125). Furthermore, Ariel Berkman discovered a buffer overflow in the ParseCommand function in hpgl-input.c in the hpgltops program (CVE-2004-1267). Finally, Bartlomiej Sieka discovered several problems in the lppasswd program: it ignores some write errors (CVE-2004-1268), it can leave the passwd.new file in place (CVE-2004-1269) and it does not verify that passwd.new file is different from STDERR (CVE-2004-1270). Impact The Xpdf and hpgltops vulnerabilities may be exploited by a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code by sending specific print jobs to a CUPS spooler. The lppasswd vulnerabilities may be exploited by a local attacker to write data to the CUPS password file or deny further password modifications. Workaround There is no known workaround at this time.
