./print/cups, Common UNIX Printing System

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]


Branch: CURRENT, Version: 2.4.11nb3, Package name: cups-2.4.11nb3, Maintainer: sbd

The Common UNIX Printing System provides a portable printing layer for
UNIX operating systems. It has been developed by Easy Software Products
to promote a standard printing solution for all UNIX vendors and users.
CUPS provides the System V and Berkeley command-line interfaces.

CUPS uses the Internet Printing Protocol (IETF-IPP) as the basis for
managing print jobs and queues. The Line Printer Daemon (LPD, RFC1179)
and AppSocket protocols are also supported with reduced functionality.

CUPS adds network printer browsing and PostScript Printer Description
("PPD")-based printing options to support real world applications under
UNIX.

This is a meta-package for installing CUPS and the necessary backends,
filters, and other software that is required for using printer drivers
from CUPS 1.6.0 on.

*cups*: update to 2.4.6

CUPS 2.4.6 is released to ship the fix for the latest CVE -
CVE-2023-34241 - and two other bug fixes.

Detailed list:

    Fix linking error on old MacOS (Issue #715)
    Fix printing multiple files on specific printers (Issue #643)
    Fix use-after-free when logging warnings in case of failures
    in cupsdAcceptClient() (fixes CVE-2023-34241)

CUPS 2.4.5 is a hotfix release for a bug which corrupted locally
saved certificates, which broke secured printing via TLS after the
first print job.

We're sorry for the inconvenience and enjoy the hotfix!
