Discussion

CUPS Partial SSL Connection Remote Denial of Service Vulnerability

CUPS is prone to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability when handling SSL connection requests.

Successfully exploiting this issue allows remote attackers to cause the affected service to stop accepting further requests, denying further service to legitimate users.

NOTE: This issue was originally reported as a vulnerability affecting Apple Mac OS X in BID 22948 (Apple Mac OS X Multiple Applications Multiple Vulnerabilities). Further information indicates that this vulnerability also affects CUPS running on other platforms, so this issue is being assigned a separate BID.
