Synopsis

Description

The Rocky Linux 9.6 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TuxCare ALMALINUX9.6:CLSA-2026:1769516003 advisory.

 - OpenPrinting CUPS is an open source printing system for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. Prior to version 2.4.15, a user in the lpadmin group can use the cups web ui to change the config and insert a malicious line. Then the cupsd process which runs as root will parse the new config and cause an out-of- bound write. This issue has been patched in version 2.4.15. (CVE-2025-61915)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
