SUMMARY   : Fix for CUPS denial of service vulnerability

DESCRIPTION
 CUPS[1] (Common UNIX Printing System) is an open-source, freely
 available and cross-platform printing solution for UNIX
 environments.
 
 Alvaro Martinez Echevarria found a vulnerability[2] in the CUPS
 Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) implementation that allows remote
 attackers to make CUPS stop listening on the IPP port by sending an
 empty UDP datagram packet to the IPP port, causing a denial of
 service situation.


SOLUTION
 It is recommended that all CUPS users upgrade to the latest packages.
 This update will automatically restart the service if it is already
 running.
