How to fix?

Upgrade apple/cups to version 1.1.22 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Resource Management Errors. Memory leak in CUPS before 1.1.22, and possibly other versions, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption and daemon crash) via a large number of requests to add and remove shared printers.
