CentOS Update for cups CESA-2008:0937 centos3 i386. The Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) provides a portable printing layer for UNIX(R) operating systems. A buffer overflow, integer overflow, and insufficient buffer bounds checking flaws were discovered in the CUPS filters, which could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code as the "lp" user if a malicious file was printed. Red Hat advises upgrading to the updated packages containing patches to resolve these issues

  A buffer overflow flaw was discovered in the SGI image format decoding
  routines used by the CUPS image converting filter "imagetops". An attacker
  could create a malicious SGI image file that could, possibly, execute
  arbitrary code as the "lp" user if the file was printed. (CVE-2008-3639)
  
  An integer overflow flaw leading to a heap buffer overflow was discovered
  in the Text-to-PostScript "texttops" filter. An attacker could create a
  malicious text file that could, possibly, execute arbitrary code as the
  "lp" user if the file was printed. (CVE-2008-3640)
  
  An insufficient buffer bounds checking flaw was discovered in the
  HP-GL/2-to-PostScript "hpgltops" filter. An attacker could create a
  malicious HP-GL/2 file that could, possibly, execute arbitrary code as the
  "lp" user if the file was printed. (CVE-2008-3641)
  
  Red Hat would like to thank regenrecht for reporting these issues.
  
  All CUPS users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
  contain backported patches to resolve these issues.";
