Descriptions

The Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language (HPGL) filter in CUPS before 1.3.9 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted pen width and pen color opcodes that overwrite arbitrary memory.

El filtro de lenguaje grafico de Hewlett-Packard (HPGL) en el CUPS en versiones anteriores a v1.3.9 permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar codigo a su elección a traves de codigos manipulados de anchura y color de lapiz que permite la sobreescritura de memoria a su elección.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Apple CUPS. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists in the Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language filter. Inadequate bounds checking on the pen width and pen color opcodes result in an arbitrary memory overwrite allowing for the execution of arbitrary code as the "hgltops" process uid.
