Vulnerability Type: remote privilege escalation
Severity (1-10): 5
SuSE default package: no
Other affected systems: all systems running CUPS
Content of this advisory:

______________________________________________________________________________
1) problem description, brief discussion, solution, upgrade information
The well known Common Unix Printing System (CUPS) was found vulnerable
to a buffer overflow in the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) handling
code.
The buffer overflow could be exploited by a remote attacker as long as
their IP address is allowed to connect to the CUPS server.
Please download the update package for your distribution and verify its
integrity by the methods listed in section 3) of this announcement.
Then, install the package using the command "rpm -Fhv file.rpm" to apply
the update.
After updateing the packages run "rclpd restart" as root to start the
new daemon.

2) Pending vulnerabilities in SuSE Distributions and Workarounds:
- squid
A heap overflow in squid's URL constructing functions is fixed and
new packages are currently being built.
- ucd-snmpd
The UCD snmpd contains various security releated bugs.
We are currently reviewing the code and available fixes to ensure
they all get fixed. Patches will be available as soon as possible.
It is strongly recommended to filter SNMP (TCP and UDP packets
with destination of port 161) traffic.
- hanterm/wmtv
The recently reported vulnerabilities in hanterm and wmtv do not
affect SuSE installations because they are not installed setuid
or setgid.
- cipe
We are about to prepare kernel update packages that fix a DoS
problem in the kernel modules for the cipe encrypted tunneling
software.

3) standard appendix: authenticity verification, additional information
- Package authenticity verification:
SuSE update packages are available on many mirror ftp servers all over
the world. While this service is being considered valuable and important
to the free and open source software community, many users wish to be
sure about the origin of the package and its content before installing
the package. There are two verification methods that can be used
independently from each other to prove the authenticity of a downloaded
file or rpm package:
1) md5sums as provided in the (cryptographically signed) announcement.
2) using the internal gpg signatures of the rpm package.
1) execute the command
md5sum
