Thomas Pollet discovered an integer overflow vulnerability in the PNG
image handling filter in CUPS. This could allow a malicious user to
execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running CUPS,
or cause a denial of service by sending a specially crafted PNG image
to the print server (CVE-2008-1722).

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
