When a user prints to a password-protected printer with debug logging enabled, a local user may be able to obtain potentially sensitive information, such as the username, domain, and password.
Systems prior to Mac OS X v10.5 that have Security Update 2008-002 installed are not affected.
[Editor's note: It is not clear if systems other than Mac OS X are affected or not.]

Available for: Mac OS X v10.5 through v10.5.2,
Mac OS X Server v10.5 through v10.5.2
Impact: Printing to password-protected printers with debug logging
enabled may lead to the disclosure of sensitive information
Description: An issue exists in the CUPS scheduler's check of the
authentication environment variables when debug logging is enabled.
This may lead to the disclosure of the username, domain, and password

the issue by properly validating environment variables. This issue
does not affect systems prior to Mac OS X v10.5 with Security Update
2008-002 installed.
