Insight
Various security issue have been fixed in the CUPS print server. - CVE-2007-5848: A buffer overflow that can be exploited by users that are allowed to configure CUPS. - CVE-2007-5849: Additionally a buffer overflow in the SNMP backend of CUPS was fixed that allowed remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by sending specially crafted SNMP responses. This requires a local administrator to trigger a SNMP request and the attacker then injecting a response. The second vulnerability affects openSUSE 10.2 and 10.3 only.
