Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in the Common Unix Printing
System (CUPS). Several of these issues represent the potential for a
remote compromise or denial of service. The Common Vulnerabilities
and Exposures project identifies the following problems:
. CAN-2002-1383: Multiple integer overflows allow a remote attacker
to execute arbitrary code via the CUPSd HTTP interface and the
image handling code in CUPS filters.
. CAN-2002-1366: Race conditions in connection with /etc/cups/certs/
allow local users with lp privileges to create or overwrite
arbitrary files. This is not present in the potato version.
. CAN-2002-1367: This vulnerabilities allows a remote attacker to add
printers without authentication via a certain UDP packet, which can
then be used to perform unauthorized activities such as stealing
the local root certificate for the administration server via a
"need authorization" page.
. CAN-2002-1368: Negative lengths fed into memcpy() can cause a
