CVE-2011-3170 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade Debian:9 cups to version 1.5.0-8 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:9 relevant fixed versions and status.
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.
