Title:	CUPS < 1.4.4 Multiple DoS and Privilege Escalation Vulnerabilities
Summary:	CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System) service is prone to multiple; vulnerabilities.
Description:	Summary: CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System) service is prone to multiple vulnerabilities. Vulnerability Insight: The following vulnerabilities exist: - CVE-2010-0542: The _WriteProlog function in texttops.c in texttops in the Text Filter subsystem does not check the return values of certain calloc calls. - CVE-2010-2431: The cupsFileOpen function allows local users, with lp group membership, to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack. - CVE-2010-2432: The cupsDoAuthentication function in auth.c in the client, when HAVE_GSSAPI is omitted, does not properly handle a demand for authorization, which allows remote CUPS servers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via HTTP_UNAUTHORIZED responses. Vulnerability Impact: Successful exploits may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of a user running the application. Failed exploit attempts likely cause denial of service conditions. Affected Software/OS: CUPS versions prior to 1.4.4. Solution: Update to version 1.4.4 or later. CVSS Score: 6.8 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
