It is recommended that administrators running cups check for an updated version of the software for their operating system. - --------------------------BEGIN INCLUDED TEXT-------------------- - -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ===================================================================== Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Important: cups security update Advisory ID: RHSA-2008:0157-01 Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2008-0157.html Issue date: 2008-02-21 CVE Names: CVE-2008-0882 ===================================================================== 1. Summary: Updated cups packages that fix a security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64 RHEL Desktop Workstation (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) - i386, ia64, ppc, s390x, x86_64 3. Description: The Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) provides a portable printing layer for UNIX(R) operating systems. The Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) is a standard network protocol for remote printing, as well as managing print jobs. A flaw was found in the way CUPS handles the addition and removal of remote shared printers via IPP. A remote attacker could send malicious UDP IPP packets causing the CUPS daemon to crash. (CVE-2008-0882) Note: the default configuration of CUPS on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 will only accept requests of this type from the local subnet. This issue did not affect the versions of CUPS as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 or 4. All cups users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to resolve this issue. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_58_10188 5.
