Discussion

CUPS CGI Interface 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 1.3.5 is reported vulnerable; other versions may be affected as well.

NOTE: This issue was originally covered in BID 28304 (Apple Mac OS X 2008-002 Multiple Security Vulnerabilities), but has been given its own record because further information has emerged.
