Debian 5.0 DSA-1933-1 Critical: CUPS Cross-Site Scripting Attack

Aaron Siegel discovered that the web interface of cups, the Common UNIX
Printing System, is prone to cross-site scripting attacks.


For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.3.8-1+lenny7.

For the oldstable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.2.7-4+etch9.

For the testing distribution (squeeze) and the unstable distribution
(sid), this problem will be fixed soon.


We recommend that you upgrade your cups packages.
