CVE-2015-3258

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions cups-filters versions prior to 1.0.70

Description The issue is caused by a heap-based buffer overflow in the WriteProlog function of the cups-filters package, which can be exploited by a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service using a specially crafted print job. The vulnerability is triggered by a small line size in a print job.

Recommendations For cups-filters versions prior to 1.0.70, update to version 1.0.70 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the print job functionality to minimize the risk of exploitation.
