Synopsis:	Important: cups security update
Issue date:	2009-02-19
CVE Names:	CVE-2009-0577

The previous CUPS security advisor, stated that it fixed
CVE-2008-3640 for Scientific Linux 3, 4, and 5. It was discovered this
flaw was not properly fixed on Scientific Linux 3, however. (CVE-2009-0577)

Linux 3. Scientific Linux 4 and 5 already contain the appropriate fix
for this flaw and do not need to be updated.
