high Nessus Plugin ID 141234

Synopsis
The remote Oracle Linux host is missing one or more security updates.Description
The remote Oracle Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2020-3864 advisory.- A localhost.localdomain whitelist entry in valid_host() in scheduler/client.c in CUPS before 2.2.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary IPP commands by sending POST requests to the CUPS daemon in conjunction with DNS rebinding. The localhost.localdomain name is often resolved via a DNS server (neither the OS nor the web browser is responsible for ensuring that localhost.localdomain is 127.0.0.1).
(CVE-2017-18190)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
Solution
