Mitcheson in the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) implementation would
result in CUPS going into a busy loop, which could result in a Denial
of Service (DoS) condition. To be able to exploit this problem, an
attacker would need to be able to make a TCP connection to the IPP
port (port 631 by default).

The provided packages have been patched to correct this problem."
