Summary

CUPS Filters, specifically the cups-browsed component prior to version 1.0.53, is susceptible to an access control bypass due to a flaw in how the BrowseAllow directive is interpreted. A malformed configuration can allow remote attackers to gain unintended access and potentially control print services available on the network. This vulnerability highlights the importance of correctly configuring access settings to prevent unauthorized interactions.
