Mandriva Update for cups MDVSA-2008:036 (cups)

Solution
Please Install the Updated Packages.
Insight
Wei Wang found that the SNMP discovery backend in CUPS did not correctly calculate the length of strings. If a user could be tricked into scanning for printers, a remote attacker could send a specially crafted packet and possibly execute arbitrary code (CVE-2007-5849). As well, the fix for CVE-2007-0720 in MDKSA-2007:086 caused another denial of service regression within SSL handling (CVE-2007-4045). The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.
