OpenPrinting CUPS is an open source printing system. In versions 2.4.2 and prior, a heap buffer overflow vulnerability would allow a remote attacker to launch a denial of service (DoS) attack. A buffer overflow vulnerability in the function format_log_line
could allow remote attackers to cause a DoS on the affected system. Exploitation of the vulnerability can be triggered when the configuration file cupsd.conf
sets the value of loglevel
to DEBUG
. No known patches or workarounds exist at time of publication.
