| Description: | The cups-filters package contains backends, filters, and other softwarethat was once part of the core CUPS distribution but is now maintainedindependently.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 attackercould send a specially crafted browse packet that, when processed bycups-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 toadd a malformed "BrowseAllow" directive to the cups-browsed.conf file coulduse 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 installingthis update, the cups-browsed daemon will be restarted automatically. |
