RHSA-2010:0755: Important: cups security update
First published: Thu Oct 07 2010(Updated: )
The Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) provides a portable printing layer<br>for UNIX operating systems. The CUPS "pdftops" filter converts Portable<br>Document Format (PDF) files to PostScript.<br>Multiple flaws were discovered in the CUPS "pdftops" filter. An attacker<br>could create a malicious PDF file that, when printed, would cause "pdftops"<br>to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code as the "lp" user.<br>(CVE-2010-3702, CVE-2009-3609)<br>Users of cups are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which<br>contain backported patches to correct these issues. After installing this<br>update, the cupsd daemon will be restarted automatically.<br>
