Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

CVE-2017-18248 It was found that by submitting a print job with an invalid username, the CUPS server can be crashed, when D-Bus support is enabled (which is the case for Debian).

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 1.5.3-5+deb7u8.

We recommend that you upgrade your cups packages.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
