The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200409-25 (CUPS: Denial of service vulnerability)

Alvaro Martinez Echevarria discovered a hole in the CUPS Internet Printing     Protocol (IPP) implementation that allows remote attackers to cause CUPS to     stop listening on the IPP port.

Impact :

A remote user with malicious intent can easily cause a denial of service to     the CUPS daemon by sending a specially crafted UDP datagram packet to the     IPP port.

Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.
