CVE-2026-34980 MEDIUM PATCH This Month

Unauthenticated remote code execution in OpenPrinting CUPS 2.4.16 and earlier allows attackers to send print jobs to shared PostScript queues without authentication, exploit a newline injection vulnerability in page-border parameter handling, and execute arbitrary binaries as the lp user by chaining a follow-up raw print job. CISA KEV status and active exploitation confirmation not provided; no publicly available patches identified at publication.

CVE-2026-34979 MEDIUM PATCH This Month

Heap-based buffer overflow in OpenPrinting CUPS scheduler versions 2.4.16 and prior allows unauthenticated remote attackers to trigger a denial of service condition by crafting malicious job attributes that overflow buffers during filter option string construction. With a CVSS score of 5.3 and network accessibility, this vulnerability impacts availability on exposed CUPS instances; no public exploit code or vendor patch has been released as of publication.

CVE-2026-34978 MEDIUM PATCH This Month

Path traversal in OpenPrinting CUPS RSS notifier (versions 2.4.16 and prior) allows unauthenticated remote IPP clients to write arbitrary files outside the intended CacheDir/rss directory via a crafted notify-recipient-uri parameter. By exploiting default group-writable permissions on CacheDir, attackers can overwrite critical state files such as job.cache, causing the CUPS scheduler to fail parsing job queues and resulting in loss of previously queued print jobs. No public exploit code or vendor patch is currently available, though the vulnerability is demonstrated with proof-of-concept exploitation.

CVE-2026-34990 MEDIUM PATCH This Month

Local privilege escalation in OpenPrinting CUPS 2.4.16 and prior allows unprivileged users to bypass authentication and create arbitrary file overwrites as root by coercing cupsd into issuing reusable Authorization tokens and leveraging printer-sharing policies to persist file:// URIs that bypass FileDevice restrictions. A proof-of-concept demonstrates root command execution via sudoers file modification, and the vulnerability is confirmed by the presence of public exploit code.
