Debian DLA-399-1 : foomatic-filters security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 88106

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

cups-filters contains multiple buffer overflows caused by lack of size checks when copying from environment variables to local buffers (strcpy) as well on string concatenation operations (strcat).

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected foomatic-filters package.
