Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory

Problem Description:

A Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability was discovered in the
CUPS printing system by Phil D’Amore of Red Hat. The IPP (Internet
Printing Protocol) that CUPS uses is single-threaded and can only
service one request at a time. A malicious user could create a
partial request that does not time out and cause a Denial of
Service condition where CUPS will not respond to other printing
requests. This can only be done if the malicious user can create a
TCP connection to the IPP port (631 by default).

This vulnerability has been fixed upstream in CUPS 1.1.19 and
packages of previous versions have been fixed to correct the
problem.
