CVE-2025-64524

cups-filters contains backends, filters, and other software required to get the cups printing service working on operating systems other than macos. In versions 2.0.1 and prior, a heap-buffer-overflow vulnerability in the rastertopclx filter causes the program to crash with a segmentation fault when processing maliciously crafted input data. This issue can be exploited to trigger memory corruption, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution. This issue has been patched via commit 956283c.

Summary		(es) cups-filters contiene backends, filtros y otro software necesario para que el servicio de impresión cups funcione en sistemas operativos distintos de macOS. En las versiones 2.0.1 y anteriores, una vulnerabilidad de desbordamiento de búfer de pila (heap-buffer-overflow) en el filtro rastertopclx provoca que el programa falle con un error de segmentación (segmentation fault) al procesar datos de entrada maliciosamente elaborados. Este problema puede ser explotado para desencadenar corrupción de memoria, lo que podría llevar a la ejecución de código arbitrario. Este problema ha sido parcheado mediante el commit 956283c.
