Common UNIX Printing System SNMP 'asn1_get_string()' Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Common UNIX Printing System SNMP 'asn1_get_string()' Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because the software fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it to an insufficiently sized buffer.

Exploiting this issue allows attackers to execute arbitrary machine code in the context of users running the affected software. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in denial-of-service conditions.

This issue affects CUPS 1.2 and 1.3, prior to 1.3.5; other versions may also be vulnerable.
