Synopsis:          Important: cups security update
Advisory ID:       SLSA-2015:1123-1
Issue Date:        2015-06-17
CVE Numbers:       CVE-2014-9679
                   CVE-2015-1158
                   CVE-2015-1159
--

A string reference count bug was found in cupsd, causing premature freeing
of string objects. An attacker can submit a malicious print job that
exploits this flaw to dismantle ACLs protecting privileged operations,
allowing a replacement configuration file to be uploaded which in turn
allows the attacker to run arbitrary code in the CUPS server
(CVE-2015-1158)

A cross-site scripting flaw was found in the cups web templating engine.
An attacker could use this flaw to bypass the default configuration
settings that bind the CUPS scheduler to the 'localhost' or loopback
interface. (CVE-2015-1159)

An integer overflow leading to a heap-based buffer overflow was found in
the way cups handled compressed raster image files. An attacker could
create a specially-crafted image file, which when passed via the cups
Raster filter, could cause the cups filter to crash. (CVE-2014-9679)

After installing this update, the cupsd daemon will be restarted
automatically.
