Here are the details from the Slackware 12.2 ChangeLog:

patches/packages/cups-1.3.10-i486-1_slack12.2.tgz:
Upgraded to cups-1.3.10.
This fixes several security issues, including an integer overflow in the TIFF
decoder, a failure to properly verify the Host HTTP header, and several
problems with PDF handling (the new CUPS uses a wrapper rather than embedded
code taken from xpdf). These issues could result in a denial of service or
the execution of arbitrary code.

Where to find the new packages:

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.
