news 28 Posted October 15, 2009 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ===================================================================== Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Moderate: cups security update Advisory ID: RHSA-2009:1513-01 Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2009-1513.html Issue date: 2009-10-15 CVE Names: CVE-2009-3608 CVE-2009-3609 ===================================================================== 1. Summary: Updated cups packages that fix two security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: RHEL Desktop Workstation (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) - i386, ia64, ppc, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64 3. Description: The Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) provides a portable printing layer for UNIX operating systems. The CUPS "pdftops" filter converts Portable Document Format (PDF) files to PostScript. Two integer overflow flaws were found in the CUPS "pdftops" filter. An attacker could create a malicious PDF file that would cause "pdftops" to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code as the "lp" user if the file was printed. (CVE-2009-3608, CVE-2009-3609) Red Hat would like to thank Chris Rohlf for reporting the CVE-2009-3608 issue. Users of cups are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct these issues. After installing the update, the cupsd daemon will be restarted automatically. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-11259 5. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/): 526637 - CVE-2009-3608 xpdf/poppler: integer overflow in ObjectStream::ObjectStream (oCERT-2009-016) 526893 - CVE-2009-3609 xpdf/poppler: ImageStream::ImageStream integer overflow 6.
