Comment 1 Zdenek Dohnal 2018-10-05 11:02:04 UTC

Description of problem:

There is/was a buffer boundary problem in the rastertoepson filter coming with cups, which only affects A6 paper size on any Linux.

The filter crashes at the end of the first page and leaves the dot matrix printer in an non-reseted state. This leaves to several problems later. 

Because it is a Memory Management Bug and CUPS is a security sensitive problem, this may even lead to security issues.

I already filed the bug upstream and there it was fixed within one week.

Comment 2 Zdenek Dohnal 2018-10-26 13:55:55 UTC

This issue is partially fixed in F29 (I backported of the patches in the past), so I need to backport other one and merge it into F28 and F29 branches.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 27 is nearing its end of life.
On 2018-Nov-30  Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for
Fedora 27. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases
that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as
EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version' of '27'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 27 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Fedora 27 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-11-30. Fedora 27 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
