[slackware-security] cups

New cups packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to
fix a security issue.

Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog:

patches/packages/cups-2.4.9-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes bugs and a security issue:
When starting the cupsd server with a Listen configuration item pointing
to a symbolic link, the cupsd process can be caused to perform an arbitrary
chmod of the provided argument, providing world-writable access to the
target.
