+ <background>
+ <p>
+ CUPS provides a portable printing layer for UNIX-based operating
+ systems.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in CUPS:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>regenrecht (VeriSign iDefense) discovered that the
+ cgiCompileSearch() function used in several CGI scripts in CUPS'
+ administration interface does not correctly calculate boundaries when
+ processing a user-provided regular expression, leading to a heap-based
+ buffer overflow (CVE-2008-0047).</li>
+ <li>Helge Blischke reported a
+ double free() vulnerability in the process_browse_data() function when
+ adding or removing remote shared printers (CVE-2008-0882).</li>
+ <li>Tomas Hoger (Red Hat) reported that the gif_read_lzw() function
+ uses the code_size value from GIF images without properly checking it,
+ leading to a buffer overflow (CVE-2008-1373).</li>
+ <li>An unspecified
+ input validation error was discovered in the HP-GL/2 filter
+ (CVE-2008-0053).</li>
+ </ul>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ A local attacker could send specially crafted network packets or print
+ jobs and possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the
+ user running CUPS (usually lp), or cause a Denial of Service. The
+ vulnerabilities are exploitable via the network when CUPS is sharing
+ printers remotely.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All CUPS users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-print/cups-1.2.12-r7"</code>
+ </resolution>
