Update
=====
CUPS was vulnerable to multiple vulnerabilities and as a fix we recommended upgrading to version 1.1.23_rc1. This version is affected by a remote Denial Of Service, so we now recommend upgrading to the final 1.1.23 release which does not have any known vulnerability.
The updated sections appear below.
