RHBA-2015:0064 - cups bug fix update

Synopsis

cups bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated cpu packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) provides a portable printing layer for Linux, UNIX, and similar operating systems.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Previously, CUPS did not provide a way of disabling Secure Sockets Layer (SSLv3) support while keeping other secure protocols enabled. This left CUPS users vulnerable to the POODLE attack (CVE-2014-3566, discussed at https://access.redhat.com/articles/1232123),%20and%20needing%20to%20deploy%20the%20stunnel utility for mitigation (as in https://access.redhat.com/solutions/1234843). This update disables SSLv3 support by default. For users who need to continue using SSLv3, an SSLOptions configuration directive has been added to the cupsd.conf file for the cupsd daemon and to the client.conf file for the client programs. (BZ#1161218)

Users of cups are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug. After installing this update, the cupsd daemon will be restarted automatically.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258
