CVE-2008-5286

Publication date 1 December 2008

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

Integer overflow in the _cupsImageReadPNG function in CUPS 1.1.17 through 1.3.9 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a PNG image with a large height value, which bypasses a validation check and triggers a buffer overflow.
