RHSA-2010:0129 - Moderate: cups security update
Synopsis
Moderate: cups security update
Type/Severity
Security Advisory Moderate
Topic
Updated cups packages that fix one security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.
Description
The Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) provides a portable printing layer for UNIX operating systems.
It was discovered that the Red Hat Security Advisory RHSA-2009:1595 did not fully correct the use-after-free flaw in the way CUPS handled references in its file descriptors-handling interface. A remote attacker could send specially-crafted queries to the CUPS server, causing it to crash. (CVE-2010-0302)
Users of cups are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. After installing the update, the cupsd daemon will be restarted automatically.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
