NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libcupsfilters package and not the libcupsfilters package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in libcupsfilters and cups-filters. The PNG image reading function creates a libpng reader without installing an error recovery handler, causing the CUPS image filter process to abort when processing a malformed PNG file. An unauthenticated attacker could exploit this by submitting a specially crafted PNG print job, leading to denial of service of the in-flight print job.
