[slackware-security]  cups (SSA:2026-107-01)

New cups packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to
fix security issues.


Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/cups-2.4.17-i586-1_slack15.0.txz:  Upgraded.
  This update fixes security issues:
  The scheduler treated local user and group names as case-insensitive.
  The RSS notifier could write outside the scheduler's RSS directory.
  The scheduler did not filter control characters from option values.
  The scheduler did not always allocate enough memory for a job's options
  string.
  The scheduler incorrectly allowed local certificates over the loopback
  interface.
  Fixed the range check for job password strings.
  Fixed a printer subscription bug in the scheduler.
  Fixed a SNMP string conversion bug in the backends.
