xpdf, cupsys vulnerabilities Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : These remote packages are missing security patches : - cupsys - cupsys-bsd - cupsys-client - libcupsimage2 - libcupsimage2-dev - libcupsys2-dev - libcupsys2-gnutls10 - xpdf - xpdf-common - xpdf-reader - xpdf-utils Description : A buffer overflow has been found in the xpdf viewer. An insufficient input validation of the encryption key length could be exploited by an attacker providing a specially crafted PDF file which, when processed by xpdf, could result in abnormal program termination or the execution of attacker supplied program code with the user's rights. The Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) uses the same code to print PDF files. In this case, this bug could be exploited to gain the rights of the CUPS print server (by default, user cupsys). Solution : Upgrade to : - cupsys-1.1.20final+cvs20040330-4ubuntu16.4 (Ubuntu 4.10) - cupsys-bsd-1.1.20final+cvs20040330-4ubuntu16.4 (Ubuntu 4.10) - cupsys-client-1.1.20final+cvs20040330-4ubuntu16.4 (Ubuntu 4.10) - libcupsimage2-1.1.20final+cvs20040330-4ubuntu16.4 (Ubuntu 4.10) - libcupsimage2-dev-1.1.20final+cvs20040330-4ubuntu16.4 (Ubuntu 4.10) - libcupsys2-dev-1.1.20final+cvs20040330-4ubuntu16.4 (Ubuntu 4.10) - libcupsys2-gnutls10-1.1.20final+cvs20040330-4ubuntu16.4 (Ubuntu 4.10) - xpdf-3.00-8ubuntu1.4 (Ubuntu 4.1 [...] Network Security Threat Level: High Networks Security ID: Vulnerability Assessment Copyright: Ubuntu Security Notice (C) 2005 Canonical, Inc. / NASL script (C) 2005 Michel Arboi |
