Debian Developer Russell Coker has written
up an analysis of the remote exploit of CUPS
announced in September:

He seems to have a different experience to me of reporting bugs, I
have had plenty of success getting bugs fixed without hyping them. I
just report the bug, wait a while, and it gets fixed. […] I
was quite confident that my systems wouldn’t be at any risk.

When it was published my opinion was proven to be correct, it
turned out to be a series of CUPS bugs.
