     - pdftoopvp: SECURITY FIX for CVE-2013-6474, CVE-2013-6475,
       and CVE-2013-6476: Introduction of gmallocn and gmallocn3
       to protect against arbitrary code execution with the
       privileges of the "lp" user via malicious PDF files. Also
       restrict the directory from where OPVP drivers can get
       loaded.
     - urftopdf: SECURITY FIX for CVE-2013-6473: Two heap-based
       buffer overflow flaws in urftopdf. If a malicious URF file

     - pdftopdf: Fixed typo in initialization which sets the default
       value page border to an undefined value. Thanks to Helge
       Blischke for the patch.
     - cups-browsed: Check for changes of the URI of a queue which
       we have created and correct the URI if needed, especially if
       a queue was not removed on shutdown of cups-browsed (default
       printer or still having jobs) and before restart of
       cups-browsed the server's DNS-SD-provided has changed.
     - bannertopdf: Support PDF forms as banner template. This allows
       especially internationalized banner pages. Forms can contain
       fields for any CUPS/IPP value and get automatically filled
       Thanks to Andrew V. Stepanov from ALT Linux (Bug #1170,
       also first step to fix Ubuntu bug #1196986).
  * Removed hard dependency of cups-browsed on avahi-daemon, demoted Depends: to
    Recommends: and removed "on started avahi-daemon" from the "start on ..."
    rule in /etc/init/cups-browsed.conf (LP: #1242185, LP: #1178172).

cups-browsed: OpenPrinting CUPS Filters - cups-browsed

 This package provides cups-browsed, a daemon which browses the Bonjour
 broadcasts of shared remote CUPS printers and makes the printers
 available locally, replacing the CUPS broadcasting/browsing which was
 dropped in CUPS 1.6.x. This way the old behavior of having the remote
 printers available automatically is now re-implemented with Bonjour.
 .
 cups-browsed is also useful with a CUPS >= 1.6 client to allow the
 latter to browse the printer list of CUPS < 1.6 servers (by using the
 old 'cups' protocol in BrowseRemoteProtocols).
