CVE-2010-0542

Publication date 17 June 2010

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

The _WriteProlog function in texttops.c in texttops in the Text Filter subsystem in CUPS before 1.4.4 does not check the return values of certain calloc calls, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference or heap memory corruption) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted file.
