Openprinting · Cups-Filters · CVE-2015-3258
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
cups-filters versions prior to 1.0.70
**Description**
The issue is caused by a heap-based buffer overflow in the WriteProlog function of the cups-filters package, which can be exploited by a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service using a specially crafted print job. The vulnerability is triggered by a small line size in a print job.
**Recommendations**
For cups-filters versions prior to 1.0.70, update to version 1.0.70 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the print job functionality to minimize the risk of exploitation.
