Background

The Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) is a cross-platform print spooler.

Description

When printing to a SMB-shared printer requiring authentication, CUPS leaks the user name and password to a logfile.

Impact

A local user could gain knowledge of sensitive authentication data.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All CUPS users should upgrade to the latest version:

 # emerge sync

 # emerge -pv ">=net-print/cups-1.1.20-r3"
 # emerge ">=net-print/cups-1.1.20-r3"
