AV:N/AC:H/Au:S/C:P/I:N/A:N

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions CUPS in Apple Mac OS X versions prior to 10.5.3

Description The issue allows attackers to obtain sensitive information, specifically credentials, by reading log data when debug logging is enabled and a printer requires a password. This is related to authentication environment variables.

Recommendations For versions prior to 10.5.3, update to version 10.5.3 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling debug logging for the scheduler in CUPS to minimize the risk of exploitation. Restrict access to log data to prevent unauthorized reading of sensitive information.
