From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Any self-respecting distro pushed an update to fix this days ago, so just updating (and restarting cups) will do. But if you don't print anyway, you might as well disable it.
There is currently no fix available
Edit: I'm mistaken
What? I got a patch on Arch yesterday.
I mean both Red Hat and Ubuntu did ship updates to change the config of cups-browsed, so I don't think that's correct.
Maybe my information is out of date then
Not true, Arch and Ubuntu (the ones I personally checked on) already pushed patches that disabled cups browsed by default, removing the service listening on 631.
