DESCRIPTION
Cups[1] (Common UNIX Printing System) is an open-source, freely
available and cross-platform printing solution for UNIX
environments.
It has been reported that the IPP daemon from the Cups package
can under some circumstances enter a loop and consume excessive CPU
resources, causing the service to become slow and unresponsive.
SOLUTION
It is recommended that all cups users upgrade their packages.
IMPORTANT: after the upgrade, it is necessary to manually
restart the service if it is already running. To do so, execute the
following command as root:
/sbin/service cups restart

DESCRIPTION
“net-snmp”[1] is an implementation and a set of tools to deal with
the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), which is used for
remote administration and monitoring of network devices and
services.
“net-snmp” version 5.0.9 was released[2] to address a security
vulnerability in previous 5.0.x versions where an existing
user/community could get access to data in MIB objects that were
explicitly excluded from their view.
SOLUTION
It is recommended that all net-snmp users upgrade their
packages.
IMPORTANT: after the upgrade, the service must be manually
restarted if it was already running. To do this, execute the
following command as root:
/sbin/service snmpd restart
