+    CUPS provides a portable printing layer for UNIX-based operating

+  <description>
+    <p>
+    Alin Rad Pop (Secunia Research) discovered an off-by-one error in the
+    ippReadIO() function when handling Internet Printing Protocol (IPP)
+    tags that might allow to overwrite one byte on the stack.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="high">
+    <p>
+    A local attacker could send a specially crafted IPP request containing
+    "textWithLanguage" or "nameWithLanguage" tags, leading to a Denial of
+    Service or the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the
+    "lp" user. If CUPS is configured to allow network printing, this
+    vulnerability might be remotely exploitable.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    To avoid remote exploitation, network access to CUPS servers on port
+    631/udp should be restricted. In order to do this, update the "Listen"
+    setting in cupsd.conf to "<i>Listen localhost:631</i>" or add a rule to
+    the system's firewall. However, this will not avoid local users from
+    exploiting this vulnerability.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All CUPS users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-print/cups-1.2.12-r2"</code>
