Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in CUPS, which could be exploited by attackers to cause a denial of service or compromise a vulnerable system. These issues are caused by integer overflow errors in the PNG Image Filter (filter/image-png.c) that does not validate the "CUPS_IMAGE_MAX_WIDTH" and "CUPS_IMAGE_MAX_HEIGHT" values, which could be exploited by attackers to crash an affected application or execute arbitrary code.
