According to the versions of the cups packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

    OpenPrinting CUPS is an open source printing system for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. In     versions 2.4.16 and prior, a local unprivileged user can coerce cupsd into authenticating to an attacker-     controlled localhost IPP service with a reusable Authorization: Local ... token. That token is enough to     drive /admin/ requests on localhost, and the attacker can combine CUPS-Create-Local-Printer with printer-     is-shared=true to persist a file:///... queue even though the normal FileDevice policy rejects such URIs.
    Printing to that queue gives an arbitrary root file overwrite; the PoC below uses that primitive to drop a     sudoers fragment and demonstrate root command execution. At time of publication, there are no publicly     available patches.(CVE-2026-34990)

    OpenPrinting CUPS is an open source printing system for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. In     versions 2.4.16 and prior, there is a heap-based buffer overflow in the CUPS scheduler when building     filter option strings from job attribute. At time of publication, there are no publicly available     patches.(CVE-2026-34979)

    OpenPrinting CUPS is an open source printing system for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. In     versions 2.4.16 and prior, in a network-exposed cupsd with a shared target queue, an unauthorized client     can send a Print-Job to that shared PostScript queue without authentication. The server accepts a page-     border value supplied as textWithoutLanguage, preserves an embedded newline through option escaping and     reparse, and then reparses the resulting second-line PPD: text as a trusted scheduler control record. A     follow-up raw print job can therefore make the server execute an attacker-chosen existing binary such as     /usr/bin/vim as lp. At time of publication, there are no publicly available patches.(CVE-2026-34980)

    OpenPrinting CUPS is an open source printing system for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. In     versions 2.4.16 and prior, a use-after-free vulnerability exists in the CUPS scheduler (cupsd) when     temporary printers are automatically deleted. cupsdDeleteTemporaryPrinters() in scheduler/printers.c calls     cupsdDeletePrinter() without first expiring subscriptions that reference the printer, leaving     cupsd_subscription_t.dest as a dangling pointer to freed heap memory. The dangling pointer is subsequently     dereferenced at multiple code sites, causing a crash (denial of service) of the cupsd daemon. With heap     grooming, this can be leveraged for code execution.(CVE-2026-39316)

    OpenPrinting CUPS is an open source printing system for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. In     versions 2.4.16 and prior, CUPS daemon (cupsd) contains an authorization bypass vulnerability due to case-     insensitive username comparison during authorization checks. The vulnerability allows an unprivileged user     to gain unauthorized access to restricted operations by using a user with a username that differs only in     case from an authorized user. At time of publication, there are no publicly available     patches.(CVE-2026-27447)

    OpenPrinting CUPS is an open source printing system for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. In     versions 2.4.16 and prior, an integer underflow vulnerability in _ppdCreateFromIPP() (cups/ppd-cache.c)     allows any unprivileged local user to crash the cupsd root process by supplying a negative job-password-     supported IPP attribute. The bounds check only caps the upper bound, so a negative value passes     validation, is cast to size_t (wrapping to ~2^64), and is used as the length argument to memset() on a     33-byte stack buffer. This causes an immediate SIGSEGV in the cupsd root process. Combined with systemd's     Restart=on-failure, an attacker can repeat the crash for sustained denial of service.(CVE-2026-39314)

    OpenPrinting CUPS is an open source printing system for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. In     versions 2.4.16 and prior, the RSS notifier allows .. path traversal in notify-recipient-uri (e.g.,     rss:///../job.cache), letting a remote IPP client write RSS XML bytes outside CacheDir/rss (anywhere that     is lp-writable). In particular, because CacheDir is group-writable by default (typically root:lp and mode     0770), the notifier (running as lp) can replace root-managed state files via temp-file + rename(). This     PoC clobbers CacheDir/job.cache with RSS XML, and after restarting cupsd the scheduler fails to parse the     job cache and previously queued jobs disappear. At time of publication, there are no publicly available     patches.(CVE-2026-34978)

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

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 7.02, has cups packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - libppd <= 2.1b1 ppdCreatePPDFromIPP2 does not validate or sanitize the IPP attributes when writing them to     a temporary PPD file, allowing the injection of attacker controlled data in the resulting PPD.
    (CVE-2024-47175)

  - CUPS is a standards-based, open-source printing system, and `libppd` can be used for legacy PPD file     support. The `libppd` function `ppdCreatePPDFromIPP2` does not sanitize IPP attributes when creating the     PPD buffer. When used in combination with other functions such as `cfGetPrinterAttributes5`, can result in     user controlled input and ultimately code execution via Foomatic. This vulnerability can be part of an     exploit chain leading to remote code execution (RCE), as described in CVE-2024-47176. (CVE-2024-47175)

  - OpenPrinting CUPS is an open source printing system for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. In     versions 2.4.12 and earlier, when the `AuthType` is set to anything but `Basic`, if the request contains     an `Authorization: Basic ...` header, the password is not checked. This results in authentication bypass.
    Any configuration that allows an `AuthType` that is not `Basic` is affected. Version 2.4.13 fixes the     issue. (CVE-2025-58060)

  - 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)

  - OpenPrinting CUPS is an open source printing system for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. Prior     to version 2.4.15, a client that connects to cupsd but sends slow messages, e.g. only one byte per second,     delays cupsd as a whole, such that it becomes unusable by other clients. This issue has been patched in     version 2.4.15. (CVE-2025-58436)

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