CVE-2011-3170

CUPS < 1.4.8 - Heap-Based Buffer Overflow via Crafted LZW Stream

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

The gif_read_lzw function in filter/image-gif.c in CUPS 1.4.8 and earlier does not properly handle the first code word in an LZW stream, which allows remote attackers to trigger a heap-based buffer overflow, and possibly execute arbitrary code, via a crafted stream, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-2896.
