Integer overflow in pdftops, as used in Xpdf 2.01 and earlier, xpdf-i, and CUPS before 1.1.18, allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a ColorSpace entry with a large number of elements, as demonstrated by cups-pdf.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2002-1384 is an old integer overflow in pdftops, a PDF-to-PostScript converter used by Xpdf and CUPS. A local user could provide a crafted PDF structure and cause arbitrary code execution. Business urgency is mainly for legacy Unix/Linux systems, print servers, or appliances still carrying Xpdf 2.01-era or CUPS before 1.1.18 components. Exposure is most plausible on legacy Linux/Unix hosts, embedded systems, or print workflows using old Xpdf, xpdf-i, CUPS, or bundled pdftops code. Modern distributions are unlikely to be affected unless they retain obsolete packages or inherited converter code. Prioritize this where old print servers, shared Unix hosts, or appliances process user-supplied PDFs. It is not currently sourced as internet-scale or actively exploited, but arbitrary code execution in legacy infrastructure warrants cleanup during risk reduction work. Mitigation focus: Identify systems running Xpdf 2.01 or earlier, xpdf-i, or CUPS before 1.1.18.; Apply the relevant vendor updates from Debian, Red Hat, Mandrake, SUSE, or current package maintainers.; Retire unsupported legacy PDF conversion and print server packages where updates are unavailable..
