news 28 Posted November 30, 2010 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [slackware-security] cups (SSA:2010-333-01) New cups packages are available for Slackware 12.0, 12.1, 12.2, 13.0, 13.1, and -current to fix security issues. Here are the details from the Slackware 13.1 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/cups-1.4.5-i486-1_slack13.1.txz: Upgraded. Fixed memory corruption bugs that could lead to a denial of service or possibly execution of arbitrary code through a crafted IPP request. http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2010-2941 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Where to find the new packages: +-----------------------------+ HINT: Getting slow download speeds from ftp.slackware.com? Give slackware.osuosl.org a try. This is another primary FTP site for Slackware that can be considerably faster than downloading directly from ftp.slackware.com. Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab (http://osuosl.org) for donating additional FTP and rsync hosting to the Slackware project! :-) Also see the "Get Slack" section on http://slackware.com for additional mirror sites near you.
