How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Centos:8 cups-ipptool.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream cups-ipptool package and not the cups-ipptool package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

Due to failure in validating the length provided by an attacker-crafted PPD PostScript document, CUPS and libppd are susceptible to a heap-based buffer overflow and possibly code execution. This issue has been fixed in CUPS version 2.4.7, released in September of 2023.
