Vendor Workaround
If automatic network printer discovery is not strictly necessary for your environment, stopping the service completely eliminates the vulnerable attack surface.If you must use cups-browsed for legitimate operational reasons, you should prevent untrusted networks from feeding data to the daemon.

| Description | A flaw was found in libcupsfilters. The cfIEEE1284NormalizeMakeModel() function enters an infinite loop when processing a printer-advertised IEEE-1284 device ID with an empty model field, causing sustained CPU consumption. A network-adjacent attacker could exploit this by broadcasting a specially crafted printer advertisement, leading to denial of service. | |
