Security Advisory - RHSA-2005:571-06
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary:
Moderate: cups security update

Updated CUPS packages that fix a security issue are now available for Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 3.

This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat
Security Response Team.

Description:
The Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) provides a portable printing layer for
UNIX(R) operating systems.

When processing a request, the CUPS scheduler would use case-sensitive
matching on the queue name to decide which authorization policy should be
used.  However, queue names are not case-sensitive.  An unauthorized user
could print to a password-protected queue without needing a password.  The
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project has assigned the name
CAN-2005-2154 to this issue.

Please note that the version of CUPS included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4
is not vulnerable to this issue.

All users of CUPS should upgrade to these erratum packages which contain a
backported patch to correct this issue.
