Summary

Multiple integer overflows in (1) OPVPOutputDev.cxx and (2) oprs/OPVPSplash.cxx in the pdftoopvp filter in CUPS and cups-filters before 1.0.47 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF file, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.

Fencer Intel keeps one entry per vulnerability: the CVE id wins, then GHSA, and records that alias each other are merged, except that two CVEs always keep separate entries. The same data is available as JSON.

CPEs and fixed versions use Anchore's correction of NVD's data: Improve affected range and remove ridiculous wildcard distro entries.
