There is no fixed version for RHEL:8 cups-client.

NVD Description

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

A flaw was found in CUPS. When processing embedded job ticket comments within documents, the service improperly handles specific IPP attributes, causing an unhandled null pointer dereference. An unauthenticated attacker permitted to submit jobs to a shared printer queue can send a crafted Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) request to crash the print daemon, resulting in a temporary Denial of Service (DoS) for all printing services.
