CVE-2008-0047 [CRITICAL] CUPS vulnerabilities
Title: CUPS vulnerabilities
Summary: CUPS vulnerabilities
It was discovered that the CUPS administration interface contained a heap-
based overflow flaw. A local attacker, and a remote attacker if printer
sharing is enabled, could send a malicious request and possibly execute
arbitrary code as the non-root user in Ubuntu 6.06 LTS, 6.10, and 7.04.
In Ubuntu 7.10, attackers would be isolated by the AppArmor CUPS profile.
(CVE-2008-0047)
It was discovered that the hpgl filter in CUPS did not properly validate
its input when parsing parameters. If a crafted HP-GL/2 file were printed,
an attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code as the non-root user
in Ubuntu 6.06 LTS, 6.10, and 7.04. In Ubuntu 7.10, attackers would be
isolated by the AppArmor CUPS profile. (CVE-2008-0053)

CVE-2011-2896 David Koblas' GIF decoder LZW decoder buffer overflow

CVE-2011-2896 [CRITICAL] CVE-2011-2896 David Koblas' GIF decoder LZW decoder buffer overflow
CVE-2011-2896 David Koblas' GIF decoder LZW decoder buffer overflow
GIF image file format readers in various open source projects are based on the GIF decoder implementation written by David Koblas. This implementation contains a bug in the LZW decompressor, causing it to in correctly handle compressed streams that contain code words that were not yet added to the decompression table. LZW decompression has a special case (a KwKwK string) when code word may match the first free entry in the decompression table. The implementation used in this GIF reading code allows code words not only matching, but also exceeding the first free entry.
This problem is identical to a bug found in BSD compress (CVE-2011-2895, bug #727624), but given the unclear relationship between BSD compress and GIF deco

CVE-2011-2897 gdk-pixbuf: GIF loader buffer overflow when initializing decompression tables
GDK's GIF image reader is based on David Koblas' code that is also used in several other GIF image readers. This code contained an input validation flaw. Input code size was read from input GIF file and used to initialize decoding tables without checking the value, leading to buffer overflow. Relevant GDK code is:
941 static int
942 gif_prepare_lzw (GifContext *context)
943 {
...
946 if (!gif_read (context, &(context->lzw_set_code_size), 1)) {
947 /*g_message (_("GIF: EOF / read error on image data\n"));*/
948 return -1;
949 }
...
952 context->lzw_clear_code = 1 lzw_set_code_size;
...
962 for (i = 0; i lzw_clear_code; ++i) {
963 context->lzw_table[0][i] = 0;
964 context->lzw_table[1][i] = i;

CVE-2008-1373 [LOW] CVE-2008-1373 cups: overflow in gif image filter
CVE-2008-1373 cups: overflow in gif image filter
It was discovered that GIF parsing code used by CUPS printing system is affected
by similar issue as GIF parsers used by gd / netpbm / tk / SDL_image.
Value of code_size read from GIF image is not properly validate before being
used to initialize table array in gif_read_lzw(), causing a static buffer overflow.
Issue is similar to:
CVE-2006-4484 (gd), CVE-2007-6697 (SDL_image), CVE-2008-0553 (tk), CVE-2008-0554
(netpbm)
Discussion:
Created attachment 298680
Proposed patch
Similar to fixed used in gd / tk / netpbm / SDL_image.
