Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in the way CUPS handled compressed raster image files. An attacker could create a specially crafted image file that, when passed via the CUPS Raster filter, could cause the CUPS filter to crash.
