Title: CUPS Image Filter Zero Width GIF Memory Corruption Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
CUPS, Common Unix Printing System, is a widely used set of printing utilities for Unix based systems.
CUPS image filters do not properly handle GIF files with a width field set to zero. As a result, if an attacker submits a properly malformed image, it may be possible to manipulate and corrupt chunk headers with attacker-supplied data. Given the ability to corrupt memory with attacker-supplied data, it is possible to cause arbitrary code to be executed.
Successful exploitation will result in code execution in the security context of CUPS. The attacker must be able to cause the malformed image to be processed by CUPS to exploit this issue.
It should be noted that CUPS is not enabled by default in Red Hat Linux and Apple MacOS X.
