Title:	RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2005:772
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory RHSA-2005:772. The Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) provides a portable printing layer for UNIX(R) operating systems. A bug was found in the way CUPS processes malformed HTTP requests. It is possible for a remote user capable of connecting to the CUPS daemon to issue a malformed HTTP GET request that causes CUPS to enter an infinite loop. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2005-2874 to this issue. Two small bugs have also been fixed in this update. A signal handling problem has been fixed that could occasionally cause the scheduler to stop when told to reload. A problem with tracking open file descriptors under certain specific circumstances has also been fixed. All users of CUPS should upgrade to these erratum packages, which contain a patch to correct this issue. Solution: Please note that this update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2005-772.html Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 5.0
