Apple · Cups · CVE-2004-1269
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
CUPS version 1.1.22
Description:
The issue is related to the lppasswd utility in CUPS, which fails to remove the passwd.new file if it encounters a file-size resource limit while writing to it. This causes subsequent invocations of lppasswd to fail.
Recommendations:
For CUPS version 1.1.22, consider manually removing the passwd.new file after an invocation failure to allow subsequent lppasswd invocations to proceed. As a temporary workaround, ensure that sufficient file-size resources are available to prevent such failures.
