Debian DLA-1893-1 : cups security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 128082

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Two issues have been found in cups, the Common UNIX Printing System(tm).

Basically both CVEs (CVE-2019-8675 and CVE-2019-8696) are about stack-buffer-overflow in two functions of libcup. One happens in asn1_get_type() the other one in asn1_get_packed().

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 1.7.5-11+deb8u5.

We recommend that you upgrade your cups packages.

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 packages.
