Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions CUPS versions prior to 2.2.6

Description The issue is related to insufficient input validation in the add job function when D-Bus support is enabled. This can be exploited by remote attackers by sending print jobs with an invalid username, potentially allowing them to impact data integrity.
