Red Hat Security Advisory

Synopsis: Important: cups security update
Advisory ID: RHSA-2005:132-01
Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2005-132.html
Issue date: 2005-02-18

Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Obsoletes: RHSA-2004:543
CVE Names: CAN-2005-0206
----------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Summary:

Updated cups packages that fix a security issue are now available.

This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 3 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64
Red Hat Desktop version 3 - i386, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64



3. Problem description:

The Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) is a print spooler.

During a source code audit, Chris Evans discovered a number of integer overflow bugs that affect Xpdf. CUPS contained a copy of the Xpdf code used for parsing PDF files and was therefore affected by these bugs. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) assigned the name CAN-2004-0888 to this issue, and Red Hat released erratum RHSA-2004:543 with updated packages.

It was found that the patch used to correct this issue was not sufficient and did not fully protect CUPS running on 64-bit architectures. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-0206 to this issue.

These updated packages also include a fix that prevents the CUPS initscript from being accidentally replaced.

All users of CUPS on 64-bit architectures should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a corrected patch and are not vulnerable to these issues.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. Use Red Hat Network to download and update your packages. To launch the Red Hat Update Agent, use the following command:
