Last modified

CVE-2011-3170 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. 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.. EPSS estimates a 3.95% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
