CWE-399  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade apple/cups to version 1.3.10 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Resource Management Errors. The ippReadIO function in cups/ipp.c in cupsd in CUPS before 1.3.10 does not properly initialize memory for IPP request packets, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and daemon crash) via a scheduler request with two consecutive IPP_TAG_UNSUPPORTED tags.
