Description

The following CVE(s) were reported against src:cups.

CVE-2019-8842

The `ippReadIO` function may under-read an extension field.

There was a heap based buffer overflow in libcups's ppdFindOption() in ppd-mark.c. The `ppdOpen` function did not handle invalid UI constraint. `ppdcSource::get_resolution` function did not handle invalid resolution strings.
