news 28 Posted April 27, 2009 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [slackware-security] cups (SSA:2009-116-01) New cups packages are available for Slackware 12.0, 12.1, 12.2, and -current to fix security issues. More details about this issue may be found in the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-0146 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-0147 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-0163 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-0164 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-0166 Here are the details from the Slackware 12.2 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/cups-1.3.10-i486-1_slack12.2.tgz: Upgraded to cups-1.3.10. This fixes several security issues, including an integer overflow in the TIFF decoder, a failure to properly verify the Host HTTP header, and several problems with PDF handling (the new CUPS uses a wrapper rather than embedded code taken from xpdf). These issues could result in a denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code. For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-0146 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-0147 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-0163 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-0164 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-0166 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Where to find the new packages: +-----------------------------+ HINT: Getting slow download speeds from ftp.slackware.com? Give slackware.osuosl.org a try. This is another primary FTP site for Slackware that can be considerably faster than downloading directly from ftp.slackware.com. Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab (http://osuosl.org) for donating additional FTP and rsync hosting to the Slackware project! :-) Also see the "Get Slack" section on http://slackware.com for additional mirror sites near you.
