Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2014-04-15 09:51:37 UTC 
From ${URL} :

The CUPS 1.7.2 release fixes a possible cross-site scripting issue in the CUPS web interface. An attacker 
could use this flaw to perform a cross-site scripting attack against users of the CUPS web interface.

Patch for is_absolute_path(): http://www.cups.org/strfiles.php/3268/str4356.patch

I was unable to reproduce this issue in Fedora 19 and 20.

@maintainer(s): after the bump, in case we need to stabilize the package, please let us know if it is ready for the stabilization or not.
Comment 1 Andreas K. Hüttel archtester gentoo-dev 2014-04-15 21:28:52 UTC 
Since cups 1.7.2 fails to build without avahi (which likely hits quite some Gentoo users), I've added this patch in net-print/cups-1.7.1-r1.

Please stabilize net-print/cups-1.7.1-r1
