CVE-2025-58436
5.1MEDIUM
What is CVE-2025-58436?
OpenPrinting CUPS, an open source printing system, is susceptible to a denial of service vulnerability that occurs when a client sends messages at a very slow rate (e.g., one byte per second). This behavior causes a significant delay in the cupsd service, rendering it unusable for other clients attempting to connect. The issue has been effectively mitigated in version 2.4.15, which addresses this performance bottleneck.
