Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions CUPS versions prior to 1.7.4

Description The issue allows local users in the lp group to read arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a file in /var/cache/cups/rss/. Multiple vulnerabilities in the CUPS package of the Debian GNU/Linux operating system can lead to a breach of protected information, and exploitation can be carried out remotely.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.7.4, update to version 1.7.4 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the /var/cache/cups/rss/ directory to minimize the risk of exploitation.
