Openprinting · Cups-Filters · CVE-2014-4338
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
cups-filters versions 1.0.35 through 1.0.52
**Description**
The issue allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions by leveraging a malformed cups-browsed.conf BrowseAllow directive. This can lead to a disruption of protected information. The exploitation of the vulnerabilities can be carried out remotely.
**Recommendations**
For versions 1.0.35 through 1.0.52, update to version 1.0.53 or later to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the cups-browsed.conf file until a patch is available.
Avoid using a malformed BrowseAllow directive in the cups-browsed.conf file to prevent bypassing intended access restrictions.
