Description

ipp.c in cupsd in CUPS 1.4.4 and earlier does not properly allocate memory for attribute values with invalid string data types, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted IPP request.

Solution(s)

  • oracle-linux-upgrade-cups
  • oracle-linux-upgrade-cups-devel
  • oracle-linux-upgrade-cups-libs
  • oracle-linux-upgrade-cups-lpd
