Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2025-58364

medium Nessus Plugin ID 264738

Language:

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

 - OpenPrinting CUPS is an open source printing system for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. In versions 2.4.12 and earlier, an unsafe deserialization and validation of printer attributes causes null dereference in the libcups library. This is a remote DoS vulnerability available in local subnet in default configurations. It can cause the cups & cups-browsed to crash, on all the machines in local network who are listening for printers (so by default for all regular linux machines). On systems where the vulnerability CVE-2024-47176 (cups-filters 1.x/cups-browsed 2.x vulnerability) was not fixed, and the firewall on the machine does not reject incoming communication to IPP port, and the machine is set to be available to public internet, attack vector Network is possible. The current versions of CUPS and cups- browsed projects have the attack vector Adjacent in their default configurations. Version 2.4.13 contains a patch for CVE-2025-58364. (CVE-2025-58364)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
