NewStart CGSL MAIN 6.06 : cups Multiple Vulnerabilities (NS-SA-2025-0218)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 266283

Synopsis

The remote NewStart CGSL host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.06, has cups packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

- ipp.c in cupsd in CUPS 1.4.4 and earlier does not properly allocate memory for attribute values with invalid string data types, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted IPP request. (CVE-2010-2941)

- The Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language (HPGL) filter in CUPS before 1.3.9 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted pen width and pen color opcodes that overwrite arbitrary memory.
(CVE-2008-3641)

- Xpdf, as used in products such as gpdf, kpdf, pdftohtml, poppler, teTeX, CUPS, libextractor, and others, allows attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via streams that end prematurely, as demonstrated using the (1) CCITTFaxDecode and (2) DCTDecode streams, aka Infinite CPU spins.
(CVE-2005-3625)

- Xpdf, as used in products such as gpdf, kpdf, pdftohtml, poppler, teTeX, CUPS, libextractor, and others, allows attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted FlateDecode stream that triggers a null dereference. (CVE-2005-3626)

- Stream.cc in Xpdf, as used in products such as gpdf, kpdf, pdftohtml, poppler, teTeX, CUPS, libextractor, and others, allows attackers to modify memory and possibly execute arbitrary code via a DCTDecode stream with (1) a large number of components value that is not checked by DCTStream::readBaselineSOF or DCTStream::readProgressiveSOF, (2) a large Huffman table index value that is not checked by DCTStream::readHuffmanTables, and (3) certain uses of the scanInfo.numComps value by DCTStream::readScanInfo. (CVE-2005-3627)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade the vulnerable CGSL cups packages. Note that updated packages may not be available yet. Please contact ZTE for more information.
