  <description>
    <p>
    When printing to a SMB-shared printer requiring authentication, CUPS leaks
    the user name and password to a logfile.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A local user could gain knowledge of sensitive authentication data.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All CUPS users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge sync

    # emerge -pv ">=net-print/cups-1.1.20-r3"
    # emerge ">=net-print/cups-1.1.20-r3"</code>
