Description vltg0903 2006-01-04 02:10:05 UTC 
As of now, default cupsd.conf  specifies the option 'Port 631', which listens to all open interfaces. This should be replaced by 'Listen 127.0.0.1:631', which listens on the local interface only.

Yes, I agree, its an unsafe default value.
Comment 2 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2006-01-04 06:43:22 UTC 
it used to, i wonder when that change was lost
Comment 3 Sune Kloppenborg Jeppesen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-03-18 05:44:37 UTC 
Printing any news on this one?
Comment 4 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2006-06-14 13:43:25 UTC 
looks like cups-1.2.x already does this by default

ive updated 1.1.23-r7 to also do this by defeault now

i dont think this needs a revbump ?
Comment 5 Sune Kloppenborg Jeppesen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-06-14 21:19:15 UTC 
Closing. I don't think a revbump is needed here either as long as all new installs and upgrades are fine.

Thx Mike
