ELA-978-1 cups security update

Package : cups
Version : 1.7.5-11+deb8u12 (jessie), 2.2.1-8+deb9u11 (stretch)

Two issues have been found in cups, the Common UNIX Printing System(tm).

CVE-2023-4504
Due to missing boundary checks a heap-based buffer overflow and code
execution might be possible by using crafted postscript documents.

CVE-2023-32360
Unauthorized users might be allowed to fetch recently printed documents.
Since this is a configuration fix, it might be that it does not reach
you if you are updating the package.
Please double check your /etc/cups/cupsd.conf file, whether it limits
the access to CUPS-Get-Document with something like the following

AuthType Default
Require user @OWNER @SYSTEM
Order deny,allow

(The important line is the ‘AuthType Default’ in this section)
