Esta na hora de se criar um fork do cups… ou algo do tipo… a apple ja definiu como vai continuar mantendo o cups? Os updates demoraram desde a compra da maça!!!

Não deixe de mandar o link, quando você o fizer!

Acabei de receber o alerta do RHN:

Description:
The Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) provides a portable printing layer
for UNIX(R) operating systems.

A buffer overflow flaw was discovered in the SGI image format decoding
routines used by the CUPS image converting filter “imagetops”. An attacker
could create a malicious SGI image file that could, possibly, execute
arbitrary code as the “lp” user if the file was printed. (CVE-2008-3639)

An integer overflow flaw leading to a heap buffer overflow was discovered
in the Text-to-PostScript “texttops” filter. An attacker could create a
malicious text file that could, possibly, execute arbitrary code as the
“lp” user if the file was printed. (CVE-2008-3640)

An insufficient buffer bounds checking flaw was discovered in the
HP-GL/2-to-PostScript “hpgltops” filter. An attacker could create a
malicious HP-GL/2 file that could, possibly, execute arbitrary code as the
“lp” user if the file was printed. (CVE-2008-3641)

É.. mas ainda não saiu atualização nenhuma para meu Mac aqui…

É que a apple tem a “ótima” idéia de mandar pacotes de correções, e não correções individuais, mesmo que seja pra corrigir falhas criticas.

Na verdade, se for descoberto um bug que irá fritar seu processador no domingo, e o pack de correções estiver previsto pra segunda, pode se preparar pra comprar outro.
