The group is empty by default, so this should only affect special UCS setups.

The fix provided in http://www.debian.org/security/2013/dsa-2600 is not directly applicable to UCS: 

It splits some configuration options from /etc/cups/cupsd.conf into a separate cups-files.conf, which can can be edited by root. We would need to modify that in the UCR templates, which should rather be done for 3.2

The patch from http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=692791#46 is another alternative; is disallows editing of /etc/cups/cupsd.conf from the web interface (which trashes the setting written from the template, so it's the better fix anyway).
