Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream cups-libs package and not the cups-libs package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The web interface in CUPS 1.7.4 allows local users in the lp group to read arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a file in /var/cache/cups/rss/ and language[0] set to null. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2014-3537.
