Title:	RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2005:049
Summary:	Redhat Security Advisory RHSA-2005:049
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory RHSA-2005:049. The Common UNIX Printing System provides a portable printing layer for UNIX(R) operating systems. A buffer overflow flaw was found in the Decrypt::makeFileKey2 function of Xpdf which also affects the CUPS pdftops filter due to a shared codebase. An attacker who has the ability to send a malicious PDF file to a printer could possibly execute arbitrary code as the lp user. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2005-0064 to this issue. Red Hat believes that the Exec-Shield technology (enabled by default since Update 3) will block attempts to remotely exploit these buffer overflow vulnerabilities on x86 architectures. All users of cups should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve these issues. Solution: Please note that this update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2005-049.html Risk factor : High CVSS Score: 7.5
