Description Josh Bressers 2008-09-30 00:28:16 UTC 
An integer overflow issue exists within the WriteProlog() function in the
texttops CUPS image filter. When calculating the page size for storing
PostScript data, values are derived from user content and are used in
multiplication. If the operation overflows, a small destination buffer may
be allocated, resulting in a heap-based buffer overflow.

Red Hat would like to thank "regenrecht" for reporting this issue.
