Phil D'Amore of Red Hat discovered a vulnerability in the CUPS IPP
(Internet Printing Protocol) implementation. The IPP implementation is
single-threaded, which means only one request can be serviced at a time.
An attacker could make a partial request that does not time out and
therefore creates a denial of service. In order to exploit this bug, an
attacker must have the ability to make a TCP connection to the IPP port (by
default 631).
