>> CUPS Data Handling Buffer and Integer Overflow Vulnerabilities
|
|
Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in CUPS, which could be exploited by attackers to compromise a vulnerable system.
The first issue is caused by buffer overflow errors in the HP-GL/2-to-PostScript hpgltops filter, which could be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary code.
The second vulnerability is caused by buffer overflow errors in the "read_rle16()" and "read_rle8()" functions when parsing malformed Run Length Encoded (RLE) data within Silicon Graphics Image (SGI) files, which could be exploited to execute arbitrary code.
The third vulnerability is caused by an integer overflow error in the "WriteProlog()" function within the Text-to-PostScript texttops filter, which could be exploited by attackers to compromise a vulnerable system.
