Low

Base vector

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

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions CUPS versions prior to 1.4.4

Description The issue allows local users, with lp group membership, to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /var/cache/cups/remote.cache or /var/cache/cups/job.cache file. This is due to a flaw in the cupsFileOpen function.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.4.4, update to version 1.4.4 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the cupsFileOpen function or the /var/cache/cups/ directory to minimize the risk of exploitation.
