- CVE-2010-0542: The _WriteProlog function in texttops.c in texttops in the Text Filter subsystem

overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.
- CVE-2010-2432: The cupsDoAuthentication function in auth.c in the client, when HAVE_GSSAPI is
omitted, does not properly handle a demand for authorization, which allows remote CUPS servers to
cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via HTTP_UNAUTHORIZED responses.");
