Description Josh Bressers 2008-09-30 00:36:55 UTC
An unchecked index issue exists within the PW_pen_width() and
PC_pen_color() functions in the hpgltops CUPS image filter. Buffer bounds
are not properly validated when handling the pen width and pen color
opcodes, potentially resulting in arbitrary memory being overwritten with
controlled data.

Comment 7 Tomas Hoger 2008-10-13 11:30:46 UTC
The fix for this issue was reported to introduce regression in the HP-GL/2 file format handling:

According to upstream, "It shouldn't break "valid" HP-GL/2 files that specify pen numbers."
