Details

Updated cups packages that fix multiple security issues are now available
for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and 4.

This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.

The Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) provides a portable printing layer
for UNIX(R) operating systems.

Two overflows were discovered in the HP-GL/2-to-PostScript filter. An
attacker could create a malicious HP-GL/2 file that could possibly execute
arbitrary code as the "lp" user if the file is printed. (CVE-2008-0053)

A buffer overflow flaw was discovered in the GIF decoding routines used by
CUPS image converting filters "imagetops" and "imagetoraster". An attacker
could create a malicious GIF file that could possibly execute arbitrary
code as the "lp" user if the file was printed. (CVE-2008-1373)

It was discovered that the patch used to address CVE-2004-0888 in CUPS
packages in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and 4 did not completely resolve the
integer overflow in the "pdftops" filter on 64-bit platforms. An attacker
could create a malicious PDF file that could possibly execute arbitrary
code as the "lp" user if the file was printed. (CVE-2008-1374)

All cups users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain backported patches to resolve these issues.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
