Description
Integer overflow in the WriteProlog function in texttops in CUPS 1.1.17 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted PostScript file that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incorrect fix for CVE-2008-3640.
