Title:RHSA-2010:0866: cups security update (Important)
Description:The Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) provides a portable printing layer for UNIX operating systems.

  • An invalid free flaw was found in the way the CUPS server parsed Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) packets. A malicious user able to send IPP requests to the CUPS server could use this flaw to crash the CUPS server. (CVE-2010-2941)

    Red Hat would like to thank Emmanuel Bouillon of NATO C3 Agency for reporting this issue.

    Users of cups are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. After installing this update, the cupsd daemon will be restarted automatically.
