Class: PATCH | Family: unix |
A vulnerability was discovered and corrected in cups: CUPS 1.4.4, when running in certain Linux distributions such as Debian GNU/Linux, stores the web interface administrator key in /var/run/cups/certs/0 using certain permissions, which allows local users in the lpadmin group to read or write arbitrary files as root by leveraging the web interface . The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
