The Common UNIX(r) Printing System (CUPS) provides a portable printing layer for UNIX operating systems.
Multiple integer overflow flaws were found in the CUPS JBIG2 decoder. An attacker could create a malicious PDF file that would cause CUPS to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code as the "lp" user if the file was printed. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the names CVE-2009-0147 and CVE-2009-1179 to these issues.
Multiple buffer overflow flaws were found in the CUPS JBIG2 decoder. An attacker could create a malicious PDF file that would cause CUPS to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code as the "lp" user if the file was printed. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the names CVE-2009-0146 and CVE-2009-1182 to these issues.
Multiple input validation flaws were found in the CUPS JBIG2 decoder. An attacker could create a malicious PDF file that would cause CUPS to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code as the "lp" user if the file was printed. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2009-0800 to this issue.

practices are implemented until such time as a product
update is available. Further restrictions as deemed
necessary based on the customer's security policies
may be required during this interim period.
