Synopsis

The remote print service is potentially affected by an information disclosure vulnerability.

Description

According to its banner, the version of CUPS installed on the remote host is 1.6.x greater or equal to 1.6.4 or 1.7.x earlier than 1.7.1.
It is, therefore, potentially affected by an information disclosure vulnerability related to the 'lppasswd' binary, setuid settings, and the use of '~/.cups/client.conf' files that could allow a local attacker to obtain contents from arbitrary files in certain configurations.

Solution

Upgrade to CUPS version 1.7.1 or later, or apply the vendor patch.
