CVE-2008-5183 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade Debian:9
cups
to version 1.3.9-13 or higher.
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.
cupsd in CUPS 1.3.9 and earlier allows local users, and possibly remote attackers, to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) by adding a large number of RSS Subscriptions, which triggers a NULL pointer dereference. NOTE: this issue can be triggered remotely by leveraging CVE-2008-5184.
