| Thomas Pollet reported a possible integer overflow vulnerability in the |
| PNG image handling in the file filter/image-png.c. |
| </p> |
| </description> |
| <impact type="high"> |
| <p> |
| A malicious user might be able to execute arbitrary code with the |
| privileges of the user running CUPS (usually lp), or cause a Denial of |
| Service by sending a specially crafted PNG image to the print server. |
| The vulnerability is exploitable via the network if CUPS is sharing |
| printers remotely. |
| </p> |
| </impact> |
| <workaround> |
| <p> |
| There is no known workaround at this time. |
| </p> |
| </workaround> |
| <resolution> |
| <p> |
| All CUPS users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| </p> |
| <code> |
| # emerge --sync |
| # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-print/cups-1.2.12-r8"</code> |
