Synopsis:	Moderate: cups security update
Issue date:	2009-04-16
CVE Names:	CVE-2009-0163

An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was
discovered in the Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) decoding routines used 
by the CUPS image-converting filters, "imagetops" and "imagetoraster". 
An attacker could create a malicious TIFF file that could, potentially,
execute arbitrary code as the "lp" user if the file was printed.
(CVE-2009-0163)

After installing the update, the cupsd daemon will be restarted 
automatically.
