Red Hat Security Advisory: cups security update
Two security vulnerabilities have been identified in the Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) used by Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 and related variants. The first is a null pointer dereference in the ipp_read_io() function that can lead to a remote denial of service (CVE-2025-58364). The second is an authentication bypass in CUPS authorization handling (CVE-2025-58060). Red Hat has issued an important security advisory with updates to address these issues. The vulnerabilities affect multiple architectures including x86_64, aarch64, ppc64le, and s390x. No known exploits are reported in the wild at this time. Users are advised to apply the provided updates from Red Hat to remediate these vulnerabilities.

Technical Summary
This advisory covers two vulnerabilities in CUPS on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9. CVE-2025-58364 is a null pointer dereference in the ipp_read_io() function that can cause a remote denial of service. CVE-2025-58060 is an authentication bypass vulnerability in the CUPS authorization mechanism. Both vulnerabilities have been addressed by Red Hat in updated packages. The advisory lists affected product versions and architectures and provides references for applying the updates. No CVSS scores are provided, but the severity is rated as important/high by Red Hat. There are no known exploits in the wild.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation of CVE-2025-58364 can cause a remote denial of service by triggering a null pointer dereference in CUPS. CVE-2025-58060 allows an attacker to bypass authentication in CUPS authorization handling, potentially enabling unauthorized access to printing services. These vulnerabilities could disrupt printing services and compromise access controls on affected systems. No evidence of active exploitation is reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Red Hat has released updated CUPS packages that fix these vulnerabilities. Users should apply the security update RHSA-2025:15700 and ensure all prior relevant errata are installed. Detailed update instructions are available from Red Hat's official advisory. Since this is not a cloud service, remediation requires manual patching by system administrators. There are no vendor statements indicating that no action is required or that the issue is already mitigated without patching.
