CVE-2008-5183
Published: 21 November 2008
cupsd in CUPS 1.3.9 and earlier allows local users, and possibly remote attackers, to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) by adding a large number of RSS Subscriptions, which triggers a NULL pointer dereference. NOTE: this issue can be triggered remotely by leveraging CVE-2008-5184.
Notes
| Author | Note |
|---|---|
| mdeslaur | Only 1.3.x has rss subscriptions, so dapper is not vulnerable |
