cups update
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Summary:

A security improvement has been made to CUPS.

Software Description:
- cups: Common UNIX Printing System(tm)

Details:

As a security improvement against the POODLE attack, this update disables
SSLv3 support in the CUPS web interface.

For legacy environments where SSLv3 support is still required, it can be
re-enabled by adding "SSLOptions AllowSSL3" to /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
  cups                            1.7.2-0ubuntu1.7

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
