Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions CUPS versions 10.3.9 through 10.4.2

Description The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by consuming CPU resources. This is achieved by sending a partial IPP request and then closing the connection.

Recommendations For versions 10.3.9 and 10.4.2, consider restricting access to the CUPS service to minimize the risk of exploitation. As a temporary workaround, limiting the number of concurrent connections to the CUPS service may help mitigate the issue.
