Debian 3.0: DSA 573-1 Critical: CUPS Integer Overflow Remote Threat

Chris Evans discovered several integer overflows in xpdf, that are
also present in CUPS, the Common UNIX Printing System, which can be
exploited remotely by a specially crafted PDF document.

For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.1.14-5woody10.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.1.20final+rc1-10.

We recommend that you upgrade your CUPS packages.
