Discussion

CUPS IPP Tag Handling Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

CUPS is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it to an insufficiently sized memory buffer.

An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial of service.

CUPS 1.3.3 is reported vulnerable; other versions may be affected as well.
