Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in CUPS, which can be exploited by malicious people to potentially compromise a vulnerable system. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in pdftops while decoding JBIG2 symbol dictionary segments. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted PDF file. Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code. CUPS version 1.3.9 is affected.
