According to its banner, the version of CUPS installed on the remote host fails to check the text-length field in the βippReadIO()β function in βcups/ipp.cβ. Using a specially crafted request with an IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) tag such as βtextWithLanguageβ or βnameWithLanguageβ and an overly large text-length value, a remote attacker may be able to leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code on the affected system.
