Synopsis
cups bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated cups packages that fix several bugs are now available.
Description
The Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) provides a portable printing layer
for UNIX(R) operating systems.
These updated packages address the following bugs:
- a flaw existed in CUPS where two of the variables that determined the
position of an object on a page (the translation variables) were not
initialized. This meant that when CUPS rotated certain PDF files for
printing, it would introduce an incorrect offset to the image.
Consequently, part of the image could be located outside of the page area
and would not be printed. The variables responsible for this offset are now
initialized, so the image will be correctly positioned on the page.
- the /etc/cups and /var/spool/cups/tmp directories had different
permissions in the RPM package than in the filesystem after installation.
This is due to the CUPS scheduler correcting the permissions on start-up.
This difference would cause the package to fail the rpm verify test. The
permissions have been corrected in the RPM package and now match the
defaults expected by the CUPS scheduler.
- printers in CUPS should have unique names. However, if a CUPS
configuration file somehow contained entries for more than one device
with the same name, the CUPS scheduler would create a segmentation
fault and crash while starting up. CUPS now includes code that examines
each printer while loading it from the configuration file. CUPS will not
attempt to load duplicate entries, but will log an error.
All cups users should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve
these issues.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
