The Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) provides a portable printing layer<br>for UNIX operating systems.<br>It was discovered that the Red Hat Security Advisory RHSA-2009:1595 did not<br>fully correct the use-after-free flaw in the way CUPS handled references in<br>its file descriptors-handling interface. A remote attacker could send<br>specially-crafted queries to the CUPS server, causing it to crash.<br>(CVE-2010-0302)<br>Users of cups are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which<br>contain a backported patch to correct this issue. After installing the<br>update, the cupsd daemon will be restarted automatically.
