Vulnerability from certfr_avis - Published: - Updated:

Plusieurs vulnérabilités présentes dans CUPS permettent à un utilisateur distant de provoquer un déni de service ou d'exécuter du code arbitraire.

Description

Plusieurs vulnérabilités sont présentes dans CUPS :

  • la première est relative à une erreur dans un filtre pour les imprimantes de marque HP ;
  • la seconde concerne le traitement des images de types SGI (Silicon Graphics Image) ;
  • la dernière est due à une erreur dans l'utilitaire texttops intégré à CUPS.

L'exploitation de ces vulnérabilités permet à un utilisateur distant malintentionné de provoquer un déni de service ou d'exécuter du code arbitraire.
