Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Input Validation due to a logic error in ipp_read_io() which is called internally by cupsDoRequest(), ippValidateAttributes() has a null dereference. An attacker can cause the application to crash by sending specially crafted data over the network to systems listening for printer connections.

Note: This is exploitable if the firewall does not block incoming communication to the IPP port and the machine is set to be available to the public internet.
