New cups packages are available for Slackware 12.0, 12.1, 12.2, and -current to

Here are the details from the Slackware 12.2 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/cups-1.3.10-i486-1_slack12.2.tgz:
  Upgraded to cups-1.3.10.
  This fixes several security issues, including an integer overflow in the TIFF
  decoder, a failure to properly verify the Host HTTP header, and several
  problems with PDF handling (the new CUPS uses a wrapper rather than embedded
  code taken from xpdf).  These issues could result in a denial of service or
  the execution of arbitrary code.

Where to find the new packages:
+-----------------------------+

HINT:  Getting slow download speeds from ftp.slackware.com?
Give slackware.osuosl.org a try.  This is another primary FTP site
for Slackware that can be considerably faster than downloading
directly from ftp.slackware.com.

Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab
(https://osuosl.org/) for donating additional FTP and rsync hosting
to the Slackware project!  :-)

Also see the "Get Slack" section on http://www.slackware.com/ for
