Vulnerability Assessment Summary
DSA-110-1 cups

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

The authors of CUPS, the Common UNIX Printing System, have found a
potential buffer overflow bug in the code of the CUPS daemon where it
reads the names of attributes. This affects all versions of CUPS.
This problem has been fixed in version 1.0.4-10 for the stable Debian
distribution and version 1.1.13-2 for the current testing/unstable
distribution.
We recommend that you upgrade your CUPS packages immediately if you
have them installed.
