3. Problem description:

The Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) is a print spooler.

Alvaro Martinez Echevarria reported a bug in the CUPS Internet Printing
Protocol (IPP) implementation in versions of CUPS prior to 1.1.21.  An
attacker could send a carefully crafted UDP packet to the IPP port which
could cause CUPS to stop listening to the port and result in a denial of
service.  In order to exploit this bug, an attacker would need to have the
ability to send a UDP packet to the IPP port (by default 631).  The
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned
the name CAN-2004-0558 to this issue.

All users of cups should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a
backported patch as well as a fix for a non-exploitable off-by-one bug.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.  Use Red Hat
Network to download and update your packages.  To launch the Red Hat
Update Agent, use the following command:
