HIGH Summary
Common Unix Printing System (CUPS) 1.1.14 through 1.1.17 does not properly check the return values of various file and socket operations, which could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion) by causing file descriptors to be assigned and not released, as demonstrated by fanta.

NASL family SuSE Local Security Checks NASL id SUSE_SA_2003_002.NASL description The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory SUSE-SA:2003:002 (cups). CUPS is a well known and widely used printing system for unix-like systems. iDFENSE reported several security issues with CUPS that can lead to local and remote root compromise. The following list includes all vulnerabilities: - integer overflow in HTTP interface to gain remote access with CUPS privileges - local file race condition to gain root (bug mentioned above has to be exploited first) - remotely add printers - remote denial-of-service attack due to negative length in memcpy() call - integer overflow in image handling code to gain higher privileges - gain local root due to buffer overflow of last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 13780 published 2004-07-25 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2004-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/13780 title SUSE-SA:2003:002: cups code #%NASL_MIN_LEVEL 80502 # # (C) Tenable Network Security, Inc. # # This plugin text was extracted from SuSE Security Advisory SUSE-SA:2003:002 # if ( ! defined_func("bn_random") ) exit(0); include("compat.inc"); if(description) { script_id(13780); script_bugtraq_id(6475); script_version ("1.15"); script_cve_id("CVE-2002-1366", "CVE-2002-1367", "CVE-2002-1368", "CVE-2002-1369", "CVE-2002-1371", "CVE-2002-1372", "CVE-2002-1383", "CVE-2002-1384"); name["english"] = "SUSE-SA:2003:002: cups"; script_name(english:name["english"]); script_set_attribute(attribute:"synopsis", value: "The remote host is missing a vendor-supplied security patch" ); script_set_attribute(attribute:"description", value: "The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory SUSE-SA:2003:002 (cups).

As a temporary workaround CUPS can be disabled and an alternative printing system like LPRng can be installed instead. New CUPS packages are available on our FTP servers.

NASL family Debian Local Security Checks NASL id DEBIAN_DSA-232.NASL description Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in the Common Unix Printing System (CUPS). Several of these issues represent the potential for a remote compromise or denial of service. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems : - CAN-2002-1383: Multiple integer overflows allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via the CUPSd HTTP interface and the image handling code in CUPS filters. - CAN-2002-1366: Race conditions in connection with /etc/cups/certs/ allow local users with lp privileges to create or overwrite arbitrary files. This is not present in the potato version. - CAN-2002-1367: This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to add printers without authentication via a certain UDP packet, which can then be used to perform unauthorized activities such as stealing the local root certificate for the administration server via a last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 15069 published 2004-09-29 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2004-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/15069 title Debian DSA-232-1 : cupsys - several vulnerabilities NASL family Mandriva Local Security Checks NASL id MANDRAKE_MDKSA-2003-001.NASL description iDefense reported several security problems in CUPS that can lead to local and remote root compromise. An integer overflow in the HTTP interface can be used to gain remote access with CUPS privilege. A local file race condition can be used to gain root privilege, although the previous bug must be exploited first. An attacker can remotely add printers to the vulnerable system. A remote DoS can be accomplished due to negative length in the memcpy() call. An integer overflow in image handling code can be used to gain higher privilege. An attacker can gain local root privilege due to a buffer overflow of the last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 13986 published 2004-07-31 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2004-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/13986 title Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : cups (MDKSA-2003:001) NASL family Misc.
