Medium

Base vector

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

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

Description The issue arises from the cupsDoAuthentication function in auth.c, which does not properly handle authorization demands when HAVE GSSAPI is omitted. This allows remote CUPS servers to cause a denial of service by triggering an infinite loop via HTTP UNAUTHORIZED responses.

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 cupsDoAuthentication function until a patch is available.
