Package        : cups
Version        : 1.4.4-7+squeeze7
CVE ID         : CVE-2014-9679
Debian Bug     : #778387

Peter De Wachter discovered that CUPS, the Common UNIX Printing
System, did not correctly parse compressed raster files. By submitting
a specially crafted raster file, a remote attacker could use this
vulnerability to trigger a buffer overflow.

For the oldstable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.4.4-7+squeeze7.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.5.3-5+deb7u5.

We recommend that you upgrade your cups packages.
