Bug 64168 – net-print/cups: denial of service hole

• Product: Gentoo Security
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Luke Macken (RETIRED) 2004-09-15 12:43:18 UTC]

Alvaro Martinez Echevarria discovered a vulnerability in the CUPS print server where an empty UDP datagram sent to port 631 (the default port that cupsd listens to) would disable browsing. This would prevent cupsd from seeing any remote printers or any future remote printer changes.
