Updated cups packages fix multiple vulnerabilities

Problem Description:

Dave Camp at Critical Path Software discovered a buffer overflow
in CUPS 1.1.23 and earlier could allow local admin users to execute
arbitrary code via a crafted URI to the CUPS service (CVE-2007-5848).

The Red Hat Security Team also found two flaws in CUPS 1.1.x where
a malicious user on the local subnet could send a set of carefully
crafted IPP packets to the UDP port in such a way as to cause CUPS
to crash (CVE-2008-0597) or consume memory and lead to a CUPS crash
(CVE-2008-0596).

Finally, another flaw was found in how CUPS handled the addition and
removal of remote printers via IPP that could allow a remote attacker
to send a malicious IPP packet to the UDP port causing CUPS to crash
(CVE-2008-0882).

The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.
