| Description: | The cups-filters package contains backends, filters, and other software that was once part of the core CUPS distribution but is now maintained independently.
An out-of-bounds read flaw was found in the way the process_browse_data() function of cups-browsed handled certain browse packets. A remote attacker could send a specially crafted browse packet that, when processed by cups-browsed, would crash the cups-browsed daemon. (CVE-2014-4337)
A flaw was found in the way the cups-browsed daemon interpreted the "BrowseAllow" directive in the cups-browsed.conf file. An attacker able to add a malformed "BrowseAllow" directive to the cups-browsed.conf file could use this flaw to bypass intended access restrictions. (CVE-2014-4338)
All cups-filters users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues. After installing this update, the cups-browsed daemon will be restarted automatically.
