[slackware-security] CUPS DoS vulnerability fixed (SSA:2003-149-01)
Upgraded CUPS packages are available for Slackware 8.1, 9.0,
and -current to fix a denial of service attack vulnerability.
Here are the details from the Slackware 9.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
Thu May 29 00:52:54 PDT 2003
patches/packages/cups-1.1.19-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to cups-1.1.19.
A denial of service problem that allowed a CUPS client to hang the CUPS
server is now fixed in CUPS 1.1.19. Note that CUPS is not installed by
