PARTIAL Summary
Multiple integer overflows in (1) OPVPOutputDev.cxx and (2) oprs/OPVPSplash.cxx in the pdftoopvp filter in CUPS and cups-filters before 1.0.47 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF file, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.

NASL family Mandriva Local Security Checks NASL id MANDRIVA_MDVSA-2015-100.NASL description Updated cups-filters packages fix security vulnerabilities : Florian Weimer discovered that cups-filters incorrectly handled memory in the urftopdf filter. An attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the lp user (CVE-2013-6473). Florian Weimer discovered that cups-filters incorrectly handled memory in the pdftoopvp filter. An attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the lp user (CVE-2013-6474, CVE-2013-6475). Florian Weimer discovered that cups-filters did not restrict driver directories in in the pdftoopvp filter. An attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the lp user (CVE-2013-6476). Sebastian Krahmer discovered it was possible to use malicious broadcast packets to execute arbitrary commands on a server running the cups-browsed daemon (CVE-2014-2707). In cups-filters before 1.0.53, out-of-bounds accesses in the process_browse_data function when reading the packet variable could leading to a crash, thus resulting in a denial of service (CVE-2014-4337). In cups-filters before 1.0.53, if there was only a single BrowseAllow line in cups-browsed.conf and its host specification was invalid, this was interpreted as if no BrowseAllow line had been specified, which resulted in it accepting browse packets from all hosts (CVE-2014-4338). The CVE-2014-2707 issue with malicious broadcast packets, which had been fixed in Mageia Bug 13216 (MGASA-2014-0181), had not been completely fixed by that update. A more complete fix was implemented in cups-filters 1.0.53 (CVE-2014-4336). Note that only systems that have enabled the affected feature by using the CreateIPPPrinterQueues configuration directive in /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf were affected by the CVE-2014-2707 / CVE-2014-4336 issue. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 82353 published 2015-03-30 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2015-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/82353 title Mandriva Linux Security Advisory : cups-filters (MDVSA-2015:100) code #%NASL_MIN_LEVEL 80502 # # (C) Tenable Network Security, Inc. # # The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were # extracted from Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2015:100. # The text itself is copyright (C) Mandriva S.A. # include("compat.inc"); if (description) { script_id(82353); script_version("1.3"); script_cvs_date("Date: 2019/08/02 13:32:56"); script_cve_id("CVE-2013-6473", "CVE-2013-6474", "CVE-2013-6475", "CVE-2013-6476", "CVE-2014-2707", "CVE-2014-4336", "CVE-2014-4337", "CVE-2014-4338"); script_xref(name:"MDVSA", value:"2015:100"); script_name(english:"Mandriva Linux Security Advisory : cups-filters (MDVSA-2015:100)"); script_summary(english:"Checks rpm output for the updated packages"); script_set_attribute( attribute:"synopsis", value: "The remote Mandriva Linux host is missing one or more security updates." ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"description", value: "Updated cups-filters packages fix security vulnerabilities : Florian Weimer discovered that cups-filters incorrectly handled memory in the urftopdf filter.
