FreeBSD : cups -- remote code execution and DNS rebinding (736e55bc-39bb-11de-a493-001b77d09812)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 38705

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Gentoo security team summarizes :

The following issues were reported in CUPS :

- iDefense reported an integer overflow in the _cupsImageReadTIFF() function in the 'imagetops' filter, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2009-0163).

- Aaron Siegel of Apple Product Security reported that the CUPS web interface does not verify the content of the 'Host' HTTP header properly (CVE-2009-0164).

- Braden Thomas and Drew Yao of Apple Product Security reported that CUPS is vulnerable to CVE-2009-0146, CVE-2009-0147 and CVE-2009-0166, found earlier in xpdf and poppler.

A remote attacker might send or entice a user to send a specially crafted print job to CUPS, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the configured CUPS user -- by default this is 'lp', or a Denial of Service. Furthermore, the web interface could be used to conduct DNS rebinding attacks.

Solution

Update the affected package.
