New cups packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to
fix a security issue.


Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog:

patches/packages/cups-2.4.9-i586-1_slack15.0.txz:  Upgraded.
  This update fixes bugs and a security issue:
  When starting the cupsd server with a Listen configuration item pointing
  to a symbolic link, the cupsd process can be caused to perform an arbitrary
  chmod of the provided argument, providing world-writable access to the
  target.
