CVE-2008-0882
Double free vulnerability in the process_browse_data function in CUPS
1.3.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon
crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted packets to the
cupsd port (631/udp), related to an unspecified manipulation of a
remote printer.
For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.2.7-4etch3
We recommend that you upgrade your cupsys packages.
