Description:

    Previous versions of multiple packages are vulnerable to multiple     attacks involving PDF files, the worst of which may allow an     authenticated or user-assisted attacker to execute arbitrary code.     Note that in the case of CUPS, authentication may be as simple as     being connected to a trusted network.     

    In addition, a minor Denial of Service attack against the cups     daemon is ameliorated in this update.
