Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions cups-filters versions 1.0.35 through 1.0.52

Description The issue allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions by leveraging a malformed cups-browsed.conf BrowseAllow directive. This can lead to a disruption of protected information. The exploitation of the vulnerabilities can be carried out remotely.

Recommendations For versions 1.0.35 through 1.0.52, update to version 1.0.53 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the cups-browsed.conf file until a patch is available.
