Background ========== CUPS, the Common Unix Printing System, is a full-featured print server. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 net-print/cups < 1.4.8-r1 >= 1.4.8-r1 Description =========== Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in CUPS. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details. Impact ====== A remote attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code using specially crafted streams, IPP requests or files, or cause a Denial of Service (daemon crash or hang). A local attacker may be able to gain escalated privileges or overwrite arbitrary files. Furthermore, a remote attacker may be able to obtain sensitive information from the CUPS process or hijack a CUPS administrator authentication request. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All CUPS users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-print/cups-1.4.8-r1" NOTE: This is a legacy GLSA. Updates for all affected architectures are available since September 03, 2011. It is likely that your system is already no longer affected by this issue.
