Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-2360-01 - The cups-filters packages contain back ends, filters, and other software that was once part of the core Common UNIX Printing System distribution but is now maintained independently. A heap-based buffer overflow flaw and an integer overflow flaw leading to a heap-based buffer overflow were discovered in the way the texttopdf utility of cups-filter processed print jobs with a specially crafted line size. An attacker able to submit print jobs could use these flaws to crash texttopdf or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the "lp" user.
