Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
CUPS versions prior to 1.1.18
Xpdf versions prior to 2.01
Description
The issue is related to multiple vulnerabilities in the CUPS and Xpdf packages, which can lead to disruption of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information. Exploitation of these vulnerabilities can be carried out remotely or by local users. The vulnerabilities are caused by an integer overflow in the pdftops component, which allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a ColorSpace entry with a large number of elements.
Recommendations
For CUPS versions prior to 1.1.18, update to version 1.1.18 or later to resolve the issue.
For Xpdf versions prior to 2.01, update to version 2.01 or later to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the pdftops component until a patch is available.
