CentOS Errata and Security Advisory CESA-2008:0498

The Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) provides a portable printing layer
for UNIX operating systems.

An integer overflow flaw leading to a heap buffer overflow was discovered
in the Portable Network Graphics (PNG) decoding routines used by the CUPS
image converting filters β€œimagetops” and β€œimagetoraster”. An attacker could
create a malicious PNG file that could possibly execute arbitrary code as
the β€œlp” user if the file was printed. (CVE-2008-1722)

All CUPS users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain backported patch to resolve this issue.
