Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2009:1595 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE Moderate: cups security update 2010-01-12 16:21:19 UTC

Comment 1 Jan Lieskovsky 2009-10-21 16:10:45 UTC 
An use-after-free flaw was found in the way CUPS handled references in its
file descriptors handling interface. A remote attacker could, in a
specially-crafted way, query for the list of current print jobs for a
specific printer, leading to a denial of service (cupsd crash).
