CVE-2025-64524

Integer overflow in filter/texttopdf.c in cups-filters before 1.0.71 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted line size in a print job, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the WriteProlog function in filter/texttopdf.c in cups-filters before version 1.0.70 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a small line size in a print job.

The remove_bad_chars function in utils/cups-browsed.c in cups-filters before 1.0.66 allows remote IPP printers to execute arbitrary commands via consecutive shell metacharacters in the model or PDL.

Cups-browsed in cups-filters version 1.0.41 before 1.0.51 allows remote IPP printers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the model or PDL, related to System V interface scripts generated for queues.

cups-filters contains backends, filters, and other software required to get the CUPS printing service working on operating systems other than macOS. In cups-filters prior to 1.28.18, by crafting a PDF file with a large MediaBox value, an attacker can cause CUPS-Filter 1.x's pdftoraster tool to write beyond the bounds of an array. First, a PDF with a large MediaBox width value causes header.cupsWidth to become large. Next, the calculation of bytesPerLine = (header.cupsBitsPerPixel * header.cupsWidth + 7) / 8 overflows, resulting in a small value. Then, lineBuf is allocated with the small bytesPerLine size. Finally, convertLineChunked calls writePixel8, which attempts to write to lineBuf outside of its buffer size (out of bounds write). In libcupsfilters, the maintainers found the same bytesPerLine multiplication without overflow check, but the provided test case does not cause an overflow there, because the values are different. Commit 50d94ca0f2fa6177613c97c59791bde568631865 contains a patch, which is incorporated into cups-filters version 1.28.18.
