(Red Hat Issues Fix) CUPS Log Files May Disclose User Passwords to Local Users
SecurityTracker Alert ID:  1011904
SecurityTracker URL:  http://securitytracker.com/id?1011904
CVE Reference:  CAN-2004-0923   (Links to External Site)
Date:  Oct 23 2004
Impact:  Disclosure of authentication information
Fix Available:  Yes   Vendor Confirmed:  Yes  
Description:  A vulnerability was reported in CUPS. A local user may be able to view passwords.

Apple reported that a local user may be able to view user passwords (used for authenticating remote print jobs) in the log files for the printing system.

The vendor credits Gary Smith of the IT Services department at Glasgow Caledonian University with reporting this flaw.

[Editor's note: It is not clear if this affects the upstream CUPS version or if it is specific to Apple's configuration.]

Impact:  A local user may be able to view passwords used during printing.
Solution:  Red Hat has released a fix.

                   Red Hat Security Advisory

Synopsis:          Updated CUPS packages fix security issues
Advisory ID:       RHSA-2004:543-01
Issue date:        2004-10-22
Updated on:        2004-10-22
Product:           Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Obsoletes:         RHSA-2004:449
CVE Names:         CAN-2004-0888 CAN-2004-0923
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Summary:

Updated cups packages that fix denial of service issues, a security
information leak, as well as other various bugs are now available.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 3 - i386, ia64, ppc, ppc64, s390, s390x, x86_64
Red Hat Desktop version 3 - i386, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64

3. Problem description:

The Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) is a print spooler.

During a source code audit, Chris Evans discovered a number of integer
overflow bugs that affect xpdf.  CUPS contains a copy of the xpdf code used
for parsing PDF files and is therefore affected by these bugs.  An attacker
who has the ability to send a malicious PDF file to a printer could cause
CUPS to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code.  The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name
CAN-2004-0888 to this issue.

When set up to print to a shared printer via Samba, CUPS would authenticate
with that shared printer using a username and password.  By default, the
username and password used to connect to the Samba share is written
into the error log file.  A local user who is able to read the error log
file could collect these usernames and passwords.  The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name
CAN-2004-0923 to this issue.

These updated packages also include a fix that prevents some CUPS
configuration files from being accidentally replaced.

All users of CUPS should upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve these issues.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.  Use Red Hat
Network to download and update your packages.  To launch the Red Hat
Update Agent, use the following command:

    up2date

For information on how to install packages manually, refer to the
following Web page for the System Administration or Customization
guide specific to your system:

    http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/

5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/ for more info):

99461 - cups configuration
132034 - mime.types was updated - not copied to mime.types.rpmnew
134599 - CAN-2004-0923 Log file information disclosure
135378 - CAN-2004-0888 xpdf issues affect cups
