Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'cups' package(s) announced via the USN-6844-2 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: USN-6844-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the CUPS package. The update lead to the discovery of a regression in CUPS with regards to how the cupsd daemon handles Listen configuration directive. This update fixes the problem.
