fedora
Calendar Grey April 23, 2009
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Important Fedora patch resolving numerous vulnerabilities in the CUPS framework. Key update information included.
This update fixes several security issues: CVE-2009-0163, CVE-2009-0164, CVE-2009-0146, CVE-2009-0147, and CVE-2009-0166

Summary

The Common UNIX Printing System provides a portable printing layer for

UNIX® operating systems. It has been developed by Easy Software Products

to promote a standard printing solution for all UNIX vendors and users.

CUPS provides the System V and Berkeley command-line interfaces.

Update Information:

This update fixes several security issues: CVE-2009-0163, CVE-2009-0164, CVE-2009-0146, CVE-2009-0147, and CVE-2009-0166. PDF files are now converted to PostScript using the poppler package's "pdftops" program. NOTE: If your CUPS server is accessed using a hostname or hostnames not known to the server itself you must add "ServerAlias hostname" to cupsd.conf for each such name. The special line "ServerAlias *" disables checking (but this allows DNS rebinding attacks).
