The impact of this bug is that after a few hours cupsd stops accepting new connections as it runs out of sockets. (This can be slowed down by increasing the open files limit and setting MaxClients to a much higher number) This bug does not exist in cups 1.5.3-0ubuntu8.7 on Ubuntu 12.04. To replicate: Cups server requires kerberos authentication. Cups client runs 'lpstat -h cupserver.domain -v' after obtaining valid kerberos credentials. The cups daemon will then have a connection in CLOSE_WAIT state (according to netstat). In cupsd debug mode the client rapidly logs thousands of: D [24/May/2016:11:49:17 +0100] [Client 29] Read: status=100 The debug error_log for a connection is: D [24/May/2016:11:49:17 +0100] cupsdSetBusyState: newbusy="Not busy", busy="Not busy" D [24/May/2016:11:49:17 +0100] [Client 29] Accepted from AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD:40678 (IPv4) D [24/May/2016:11:49:17 +0100] [Client 29] Waiting for request.
