New cups packages are available for Slackware 14.2, 15.0, and -current to
fix a security issue.

Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/cups-2.4.3-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
Fixed a heap buffer overflow in _cups_strlcpy(), when the configuration file
cupsd.conf sets the value of loglevel to DEBUG, that could allow a remote
attacker to launch a denial of service (DoS) attack, or possibly execute
arbirary code.
