Descriptions

Integer overflow in filter/texttopdf.c in texttopdf in cups-filters before 1.0.71 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted line size in a print job, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.

Desbordamiento de enteros en filter/texttopdf.c en texttopdf en cups-filters antes de 1.0.71, que permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (colapso) o la posibilidad de ejecutar código arbitrario por medio de una línea larga que contiene caracteres anchos manipulada en un trabajo de impresión, lo que desencadena un desbordamiento del buffer basado en memoria dinámica.

An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was discovered in the way the texttopdf utility of cups-filter processed print jobs with a specially crafted line size. An attacker able to submit print jobs could use this flaw to crash texttopdf or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the "lp" user.
