Insight
CUPS is the default printer system on SUSE Linux.
The current security update of cups fixes a double-free bug in the function process_browse_data() that can lead to a remote denial-of-service by crash- ing cupsd or possibly to a remote code execution CVE-2008-0882.
The bug can only be exploited if cupsd listens to 631/udp by crafted UDP Browse packets.
Additionally two remote denial-of-service bugs were fixed. The first one can be triggered via crafted IPP packets to use a pointer after it was freed CVE-2008-0597 and the second issue is a memory-leak caused by a large number of requests to add and remove shared printers CVE-2008-0596.
