Debian: DSA-317-1 Critical: CUPS Server Denial Of Service Threat

The CUPS print server in Debian is vulnerable to a denial of service
when an HTTP request is received without being properly terminated.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.1.14-5.

For the old stable distribution (potato) this problem has been fixed
in version 1.0.4-12.2.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems are fixed in
