CVE-2004-1269

CVSS v2.0

5.0

Medium

VectorAV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
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.
