| Description: | The Common UNIX® Printing System (CUPS) provides a portable printing layer for UNIX operating systems.
The CUPS security advisory, RHSA-2008:0937, stated that it fixed CVE-2008-3640 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, 4, and 5. It was discovered this flaw was not properly fixed on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, however. (CVE-2009-0577)
These new packages contain a proper fix for CVE-2008-3640 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5 already contain the appropriate fix for this flaw and do not need to be updated.
Users of cups should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue.
