New cups packages are available for Slackware 12.0, 12.1, and -current to
fix security issues.
More details about this issue may be found in the Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database:
https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2008-3639
https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2008-3640
https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2008-3641
Here are the details from the Slackware 12.1 ChangeLog:
Fri Nov 7 22:23:40 CST 2008
patches/packages/cups-1.3.9-i486-1_slack12.1.tgz: Upgraded to cups-1.3.9.
This update fixes three vulnerabilities in the SGI image format filter, the
texttops filter, and the HP-GL and HP-GL/2 plotter format filter. All three
of these could result in a denial of service, and the plotter filter issue
could possibly be used to execute code as the print spooler user.

HINT: Getting slow download speeds from ftp.slackware.com?
Give slackware.osuosl.org a try. This is another primary FTP site
for Slackware that can be considerably faster than downloading
directly from ftp.slackware.com.
Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab
(http://osuosl.org) for donating additional FTP and rsync hosting
to the Slackware project! :-)
Also see the “Get Slack” section on http://slackware.com for
additional mirror sites near you.
