The Ubuntu security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Ubuntu:12.04.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream cups-filters package and not the cups-filters package as distributed by Ubuntu.
cups-browsed in cups-filters before 1.0.53 allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions in opportunistic circumstances by leveraging a malformed cups-browsed.conf BrowseAllow directive that is interpreted as granting browse access to all IP addresses.
