Fedora 19 : cups-1.6.4-10.fc19 (2014-9703)

low Nessus Plugin ID 78038

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

Upstream patches have been applied to prevent long-running Get-Jobs operations preventing other requests from being handled, and to fix the order of completed jobs in Get-Jobs responses. This update fixes a security flaw potentially leading to a disclosure of information.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected cups package.
