From ${URL}:
Hi,

Even with the patch for CVE-2015-3258 in version 1.0.70 it was possible
to trigger an integer overflow leading to a heap-based buffer overflow
using the same vector (specially crafted line sizes).

The integer overflow has been assigned CVE-2015-3279 and is fixed in
version 1.0.71. Apart from that, the patch also hardens against
possible crashes due to missing calloc() success checks.

CVE-2015-3279 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2015-3279):
  Integer overflow in filter/texttopdf.c in texttopdf in cups-filters before
  1.0.71 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or
  possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted line size in a print job,
  which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.
