CVE-2010-0542 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade Debian:9 cups to version 1.4.4-1 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 _WriteProlog function in texttops.c in texttops in the Text Filter subsystem in CUPS before 1.4.4 does not check the return values of certain calloc calls, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference or heap memory corruption) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted file.
