[slackware-security]  cups (SSA:2010-176-05)

New cups packages are available for Slackware 13.1 and -current to
fix security issues.


Here are the details from the Slackware 13.1 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/cups-1.4.4-i486-1_slack13.1.txz:  Upgraded.
  Fixed a memory allocation error in texttops.
  Fixed a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) that could allow a remote
  attacker to reconfigure or disable CUPS if a CUPS admin logged into the
  web interface visited a specially-crafted website.
  Fixed a bug where uninitialized memory from the cupsd process could
  reveal sensitive information.
  For more information, see:

    http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2010-1748
  (* Security fix *)

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
additional mirror sites near you.
