An update of the cups package has been released.

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 2.4.16 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)

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