  <title>CUPS: Stack overflow in included Xpdf code</title>
  <synopsis>
    CUPS includes Xpdf code and therefore is vulnerable to the recent stack
    overflow issue, potentially resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary
    code.

  <background>
    <p>
    The Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) is a cross-platform print
    spooler. It makes use of Xpdf code to handle PDF files.
    </p>

  <description>
    <p>
    The Decrypt::makeFileKey2 function in Xpdf's Decrypt.cc
    insufficiently checks boundaries when processing /Encrypt /Length tags
    in PDF files (GLSA 200501-28).
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    This issue could be exploited by a remote attacker to execute
    arbitrary code by sending a malicious print job to a CUPS spooler.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All CUPS users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-print/cups-1.1.23-r1"</code>
  </resolution>
