Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-11-20 03:27:42 UTC 
A user in group defined by SystemGroup directive in /etc/cups/cups-files.conf can use the cups web ui to change the config 
and insert a malicious line.
Then the cupsd process which runs as root will parse the new config and  cause an out-of-bound write.
