CVE-2007-0720

Ubuntu priority
The CUPS service on multiple platforms allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (service hang) via a "partially-negotiated" SSL connection, which prevents other requests from being accepted.
Notes
kees
The "fix" isn't really a fix, and just worsens the diagnostics available to an admin seeking the DoS. This is a design problem with CUPS.
