+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Thomas Pollet reported a possible integer overflow vulnerability in the
+ PNG image handling in the file filter/image-png.c.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ A malicious user might be able to execute arbitrary code with the
+ privileges of the user running CUPS (usually lp), or cause a Denial of
+ Service by sending a specially crafted PNG image to the print server.
+ The vulnerability is exploitable via the network if CUPS is sharing
+ printers remotely.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All CUPS users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-print/cups-1.2.12-r8"</code>
