Description:
Two vulnerabilities were reported in CUPS. A remote user can gain elevated privileges on the target system. A remote user can conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
A remote user can send specially crafted localized strings to cause the the 'admin/conf' and 'admin' access control lists to fail, granting the remote user full control of the target system [CVE-2015-1158]. Version 1.2.0 and later are affected.
The CUPS templating engine does not properly filter HTML code from user-supplied input before displaying the input [CVE-2015-1159]. A remote user can create a specially crafted URL that, when loaded by a target user, will cause arbitrary scripting code to be executed by the target user's browser. The code will originate from the CUPS web interface and will run in the security context of that site. As a result, the code will be able to access the target user's cookies (including authentication cookies), if any, associated with the site, access data recently submitted by the target user via web form to the site, or take actions on the site acting as the target user.
