   An update that solves one vulnerability and has one errata
   is now available.

Description:


   The following security issue has been fixed in the CUPS
   print daemon  CVE-2012-5519:

   The patch adds better default protection against misuse of
   privileges by  normal users who have been specifically
   allowed by root to do cupsd  configuration changes

   The new ConfigurationChangeRestriction cupsd.conf directive
   specifies the  level of restriction for cupsd.conf changes
   that happen via HTTP/IPP  requests to the running cupsd
   (e.g. via CUPS web interface or via the  cupsctl command).

   By default certain cupsd.conf directives that deal with
   filenames, paths,  and users can no longer be changed via
   requests to the running cupsd but  only by manual editing
   the cupsd.conf file and its default file permissions
   permit only root to write the cupsd.conf file.

   Those directives are: ConfigurationChangeRestriction,
   AccessLog,  BrowseLDAPCACertFile, CacheDir, ConfigFilePerm,
   DataDir, DocumentRoot,  ErrorLog, FileDevice, FontPath,
   Group, LogFilePerm, PageLog, Printcap,  PrintcapFormat,
   PrintcapGUI, RemoteRoot, RequestRoot, ServerBin,
   ServerCertificate, ServerKey, ServerRoot, StateDir,
   SystemGroup,  SystemGroupAuthKey, TempDir, User.

   The default group of users who are allowed to do cupsd
   configuration  changes via requests to the running cupsd
   (i.e. the SystemGroup directive in  cupsd.conf) is set to
   'root' only.

   Additionally the following bug has been fixed:

   * strip trailing "@REALM" from username for Kerberos
   authentication (CUPS STR#3972 bnc#827109)
