LinuxSecurity.com: A flaw was found in the way CUPS handles certain Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) tags. A remote attacker who is able to connect to the IPP TCP port could send a malicious request causing the CUPS daemon to crash, or potentially execute arbitrary code. Please note that the default CUPS configuration does not allow remote hosts to connect to the IPP TCP port. This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.
