CUPS: vulnerability in the CUPS IPP implementation
| Package(s): | cups |
CVE #(s): | CAN-2003-0195
|
| Created: | May 27, 2003 |
Updated: | July 22, 2003 |
| Description: |
Phil D'Amore of Red Hat discovered a vulnerability in the CUPS IPP
(Internet Printing Protocol) implementation. The IPP implementation is
single-threaded, which means only one request can be serviced at a time.
An attacker could make a partial request that does not time out and
therefore creates a denial of service. In order to exploit this bug, an
attacker must have the ability to make a TCP connection to the IPP port (by
default 631). |
