Fedora 9: 2009-3753 Critical: CUPS Multiple Security Issues

fedora
Calendar Grey April 23, 2009
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Crucial Fedora upgrade addresses numerous security flaws in CUPS, affecting print operations and exposing vulnerabilities.
This update fixes several security issues: CVE-2009-0163, CVE-2009-0164, CVE-2009-0146, CVE-2009-0147, and CVE-2009-0166

Summary

The Common UNIX Printing System provides a portable printing layer for

UNIX® operating systems. It has been developed by Easy Software Products

to promote a standard printing solution for all UNIX vendors and users.

CUPS provides the System V and Berkeley command-line interfaces.

Update Information:

This update fixes several security issues: CVE-2009-0163, CVE-2009-0164, CVE-2009-0146, CVE-2009-0147, and CVE-2009-0166. PDF files are now converted to PostScript using the poppler package's "pdftops" program. NOTE: If your CUPS server is accessed using a hostname or hostnames not known to the server itself you must add "ServerAlias hostname" to cupsd.conf for each such name. The special line "ServerAlias *" disables checking (but this allows DNS rebinding attacks).
