medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 458131

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - OpenPrinting CUPS is an open source printing system for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. Prior
 to 2.4.17, a network-adjacent attacker can send a crafted SNMP response to the CUPS SNMP backend that
 causes an out-of-bounds read of up to 176 bytes past a stack buffer. The leaked memory is converted from
 UTF-16 to UTF-8 and stored as printer supply description strings, which are subsequently visible to
 authenticated users via IPP Get-Printer-Attributes responses and the CUPS web interface. This
 vulnerability is fixed in 2.4.17. (CVE-2026-41079)

Solution

Update the cups library and its related packages to version 2.4.18-1 or later.
