CVE-2005-2097  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:12 cups to version 1.1.22-7 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream cups package and not the cups package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:12 relevant fixed versions and status.

xpdf and kpdf do not properly validate the "loca" table in PDF files, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (disk consumption and hang) via a PDF file with a "broken" loca table, which causes a large temporary file to be created when xpdf attempts to reconstruct the information.
