Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

Jann Horn discovered that CUPS incorrectly handled session cookie randomness. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to perform cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
