Alvaro Martinez Echevarria discovered a problem in CUPS, the Common
UNIX Printing System. An attacker can easily disable browsing in CUPS
by sending a specially crafted UDP datagram to port 631 where cupsd is
running.
We recommend that you update your cupsys packages.

to upgrade your python2.2 package.
