Summary
cups vulnerability
Details

USN-7912-1 fixed vulnerabilities in CUPS. This update provides the corresponding update for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.

Original advisory details:

Johannes Meixner and Paul Zirnik discovered that CUPS incorrectly handled clients that send messages slowly. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause CUPS to stop responding, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2025-58436)

In addition, this update fixes a regression introduced in USN-7897-1 which resulted in certain invalid configuration file directives to cause the CUPS daemon to fail to start.

  "details": "USN-7912-1 fixed vulnerabilities in CUPS. This update provides the\ncorresponding update for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, and Ubuntu\n20.04 LTS.\n\nOriginal advisory details:\n\n Johannes Meixner and Paul Zirnik discovered that CUPS incorrectly handled\n clients that send messages slowly. A remote attacker could possibly use\n this issue to cause CUPS to stop responding, resulting in a denial of\n service. (CVE-2025-58436)\n\n In addition, this update fixes a regression introduced in USN-7897-1 which\n resulted in certain invalid configuration file directives to cause the\n CUPS daemon to fail to start.\n",
