• Product: Gentoo Security
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Stefan Behte (RETIRED) 2010-03-06 15:33:06 UTC]

CVE-2010-0302 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2010-0302):
  Use-after-free vulnerability in the abstract file-descriptor handling
  interface in the cupsdDoSelect function in scheduler/select.c in the
  scheduler in cupsd in CUPS 1.3.7, 1.3.9, 1.3.10, and 1.4.1, when
  kqueue or epoll is used, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
  service (daemon crash or hang) via a client disconnection during
  listing of a large number of print jobs, related to improperly
  maintaining a reference count.  NOTE: some of these details are
  obtained from third party information.  NOTE: this vulnerability
  exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2009-3553.

CVE-2010-0393 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2010-0393):
  The _cupsGetlang function, as used by lppasswd.c in lppasswd in CUPS
  1.2.2, 1.3.7, 1.3.9, and 1.4.1, relies on an environment variable to
  determine the file that provides localized message strings, which
  allows local users to gain privileges via a file that contains
  crafted localization data with format string specifiers.

There are some upstream patches available, not sure if they are already applied:

Just going after the version numbers, this should be fixed in the tree versions (1.3.11 and 1.4.6).
