NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream cups package and not the cups package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

Double free vulnerability in the process_browse_data function in CUPS 1.3.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted UDP Browse packets to the cupsd port (631/udp), related to an unspecified manipulation of a remote printer. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.
