Hi, 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. Patch: http://bzr.linuxfoundation.org/loggerhead/openprinting/cups-filters/revision/7363 Minor note on the side: The commit thanks me for the patch. The patch was created by Tim Waugh of Red Hat, I've merely forwarded it. Red Hat bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1235385 Thanks,
Hi again, I think there's a possible problem with the patch that I failed to catch earlier in the process, so you may want to hold packaging for a bit until this is fully investigated. Sorry for the inconvenience. -- Stefan Cornelius / Red Hat Product Security
