patch available.
- cups-filters contains backends, filters, and other software required to get the cups printing service
working on operating systems other than macos. In cups-filters prior to 1.28.18, by crafting a PDF file
with a large `MediaBox` value, an attacker can cause CUPS-Filter 1.x's `pdftoraster` tool to write beyond
the bounds of an array. First, a PDF with a large `MediaBox` width value causes `header.cupsWidth` to
become large. Next, the calculation of `bytesPerLine = (header.cupsBitsPerPixel * header.cupsWidth + 7) /
8` overflows, resulting in a small value. Then, `lineBuf` is allocated with the small `bytesPerLine` size.
Finally, `convertLineChunked` calls `writePixel8`, which attempts to write to `lineBuf` outside of its
buffer size (out of bounds write). In libcupsfilters, the maintainers found the same `bytesPerLine`
multiplication without overflow check, but the provided test case does not cause an overflow there,
because the values are different. Commit 50d94ca0f2fa6177613c97c59791bde568631865 contains a patch, which
is incorporated into cups-filters version 1.28.18. (CVE-2025-64503)
Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
