                   Red Hat Security Advisory

Synopsis:          Updated CUPS packages fix security issues
Advisory ID:       RHSA-2004:543-01
Issue date:        2004-10-22
Updated on:        2004-10-22
Product:           Red Hat Enterprise Linux

1. Summary:

Updated cups packages that fix denial of service issues, a security
information leak, as well as other various bugs are now available.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 3 - i386, ia64, ppc, ppc64, s390, s390x, x86_64
Red Hat Desktop version 3 - i386, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64

3. Problem description:

The Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) is a print spooler.

During a source code audit, Chris Evans discovered a number of integer
overflow bugs that affect xpdf.  CUPS contains a copy of the xpdf code used
for parsing PDF files and is therefore affected by these bugs.  An attacker
who has the ability to send a malicious PDF file to a printer could cause
CUPS to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code.  The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name
CAN-2004-0888 to this issue.

When set up to print to a shared printer via Samba, CUPS would authenticate
with that shared printer using a username and password.  By default, the
username and password used to connect to the Samba share is written
into the error log file.  A local user who is able to read the error log
file could collect these usernames and passwords.  The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name
CAN-2004-0923 to this issue.

These updated packages also include a fix that prevents some CUPS
configuration files from being accidentally replaced.

All users of CUPS should upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve these issues.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.  Use Red Hat
Network to download and update your packages.  To launch the Red Hat
Update Agent, use the following command:

    up2date

For information on how to install packages manually, refer to the
following Web page for the System Administration or Customization
guide specific to your system:

    http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/

5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/ for more info):

99461 - cups configuration
132034 - mime.types was updated - not copied to mime.types.rpmnew
134599 - CAN-2004-0923 Log file information disclosure
135378 - CAN-2004-0888 xpdf issues affect cups
