Synopsis:	Important: cups security update
Issue date:	2010-06-17
CVE Names:	CVE-2010-0540 CVE-2010-0542 CVE-2010-1748

A missing memory allocation failure check flaw, leading to a NULL
pointer dereference, was found in the CUPS "texttops" filter. An
attacker could create a malicious text file that would cause "texttops"
to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code as the "lp" user if the
file was printed. (CVE-2010-0542)

A Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) issue was found in the CUPS web
interface. If a remote attacker could trick a user, who is logged into
the CUPS web interface as an administrator, into visiting a
specially-crafted website, the attacker could reconfigure and disable
CUPS, and gain access to print jobs and system files. (CVE-2010-0540)

Note: As a result of the fix for CVE-2010-0540, cookies must now be
enabled in your web browser to use the CUPS web interface.

An uninitialized memory read issue was found in the CUPS web interface.
If an attacker had access to the CUPS web interface, they could use a
specially-crafted URL to leverage this flaw to read a limited amount of
memory from the cupsd process, possibly obtaining sensitive information.
(CVE-2010-1748)

After installing this update, the cupsd daemon will be restarted
automatically.
