RedHat: Moderate: cups security update

LinuxSecurity.com: Updated cups packages that fix multiple security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. A heap buffer overflow flaw was found in a CUPS administration interface CGI script. A local attacker able to connect to the IPP port (TCP port 631) could send a malicious request causing the script to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code as the "lp" user. Please note: the default CUPS configuration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 does not allow remote connections to the IPP TCP port
