This update for cups fixes the following issues :

The following security vulnerabilities were fixed :

  - CVE-2017-18248: Handle invalid characters properly in     printing jobs. This fixes a problem that was causing the     DBUS library to abort the calling process. (bsc#1061066     bsc#1087018)

  - Fixed a local privilege escalation to root and sandbox     bypasses in the scheduler

  - CVE-2018-4180: Fixed a local privilege escalation to     root in dnssd backend (bsc#1096405)

  - CVE-2018-4181: Limited local file reads as root via     cupsd.conf include directive (bsc#1096406)

  - CVE-2018-4182: Fixed a sandbox bypass due to insecure     error handling (bsc#1096407)

  - CVE-2018-4183: Fixed a sandbox bypass due to profile     misconfiguration (bsc#1096408)

The following other issue was fixed :

  - Fixed authorization check for clients (like samba)     connected through the local socket when Kerberos     authentication is enabled (bsc#1050082)

It was discovered that CUPS incorrectly handled certain print jobs with invalid usernames. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause CUPS to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Ubuntu 17.10 and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2017-18248)

Dan Bastone discovered that the CUPS dnssd backend incorrectly handled certain environment variables. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to escalate privileges. (CVE-2018-4180)

Eric Rafaloff and John Dunlap discovered that CUPS incorrectly handled certain include directives. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to read arbitrary files. (CVE-2018-4181)

Dan Bastone discovered that the CUPS AppArmor profile incorrectly confined the dnssd backend. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to escape confinement. (CVE-2018-6553).

Two vulnerabilities affecting the cups printing server were found which can lead to arbitrary IPP command execution and denial of service.

CVE-2017-18190

A localhost.localdomain whitelist entry in valid_host() in scheduler/client.c in CUPS before 2.2.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary IPP commands by sending POST requests to the CUPS daemon in conjunction with DNS rebinding. The localhost.localdomain name is often resolved via a DNS server (neither the OS nor the web browser is responsible for ensuring that localhost.localdomain is 127.0.0.1).

CVE-2017-18248

The add_job function in scheduler/ipp.c in CUPS before 2.2.6, when D-Bus support is enabled, can be crashed by remote attackers by sending print jobs with an invalid username, related to a D-Bus notification.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 1.7.5-11+deb8u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your cups packages.

CVE-2017-18248 It was found that by submitting a print job with an invalid username, the CUPS server can be crashed, when D-Bus support is enabled (which is the case for Debian).

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 1.5.3-5+deb7u8.

We recommend that you upgrade your cups packages.
