The Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) provides a portable printing layer
for UNIX operating systems.
An invalid free flaw was found in the way the CUPS server parsed Internet
Printing Protocol (IPP) packets. A malicious user able to send IPP requests
to the CUPS server could use this flaw to crash the CUPS server.
(CVE-2010-2941)
