How to obtain fixed software:

In some cases, a Maintenance Release is not planned to be available in an appropriate time-frame. For these cases, Service Releases are made available in order to be more timely. Security Advisory and Security Notices will indicate which Maintenance and Service Releases contain fixes for the issues described. Upon request to JTAC, customers will be provided download instructions for a Service Release. Although Juniper does not provide formal Release Note documentation for a Service Release, a list of "PRs fixed" can be provided on request.


Workaround

In order to stop CUPS, execute the following from the linux shell of the QFabric 3100 Director in each QFabric 3100 Director node for each Director Group in a deployment. 

1. service cups stop

2. chkconfig —del cups

3. rm -rf /etc/init.d/cups
Additionally, administrative systems used to authenticate to the QFabric 3100 Director should be protected from casual web browsing to sites that could inject XSS/XEE/CSRF attacks against administrative systems.
