| Description: | The Common UNIX® Printing System (CUPS) provides a portable printing layer for UNIX operating systems.
An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap buffer overflow, was discovered in the Portable Network Graphics (PNG) decoding routines used by the CUPS image-converting filters, "imagetops" and "imagetoraster". An attacker could create a malicious PNG file that could, potentially, execute arbitrary code as the "lp" user if the file was printed. (CVE-2008-5286)
CUPS users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue.
