Red Hat has released updated CUPS packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.4 Extended Update Support that address these vulnerabilities. Users should apply the official security update as described in the Red Hat advisory RHSA-2025:16592 to remediate the issues. No additional mitigation steps are indicated beyond applying the update.
Description
Multiple security vulnerabilities in the Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) were addressed in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.4 Extended Update Support. These include an authentication bypass in CUPS authorization handling and a null pointer dereference in the ipp_read_io() function leading to a potential denial-of-service condition. The update fixes these critical issues and improves system security and availability.
