news 28 Posted December 15, 2008 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ===================================================================== Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Moderate: cups security update Advisory ID: RHSA-2008:1029-01 Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2008-1029.html Issue date: 2008-12-15 CVE Names: CVE-2008-5183 ===================================================================== 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 moderate 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 operating systems. A null pointer dereference flaw was found in the way CUPS handled subscriptions for printing job completion notifications. A local user could use this flaw to crash the CUPS daemon by submitting a large number of printing jobs requiring mail notification on completion, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2008-5183) Users of cups should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct 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.
