Description Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2015-06-30 13:53:51 UTC
From URL:
----
A heap-based buffer overflow was discovered in the way the texttopdf
utility of cups-filters processed print jobs with a specially crafted
line size. An attacker being able to submit print jobs could exploit
this flaw to crash texttopdf or, possibly, execute arbitrary code.

This was discovered by Petr Sklenar of Red Hat.

This is fixed in cups-filters 1.0.70.

The patch linked above is potentially incomplete, so it should not be used for now (http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2015/06/26/6).

1.0.66 (stable) and 1.0.68 (unstable) both need to be purged from the tree, as they are both vulnerable.

Maintainers, please purge the two vulnerable versions and import 1.0.70. Thanks.

Reproducible: Always
