la mia RH9 ogni tanto avviava qualcosa che mi assorbiva tutte le risorse.

IPP at 100% processor doing nothing useful.

Summary:
Updated CUPS packages fix denial of service

Updated CUPS packages that fix a problem where CUPS can hang are now
available.

Description:
CUPS is a print spooler.

Paul Mitcheson reported a situation where the CUPS Internet Printing
Protocol (IPP) implementation in CUPS versions prior to 1.1.19 would get
into a busy loop.  This could result in a denial of service.  In order to
exploit this bug an attacker would need to have the ability to make a TCP
connection to the IPP port (by default 631).
