UNIX CUPS-Common Unix Printing System (CUPS)

This article from Akamai Security Intelligence Group discusses a critical vulnerability chain in the Common Unix Printing System (CUPS) that could potentially affect many Unix-like hosts. The vulnerability chain consists of four vulnerabilities, which when exploited, allow for remote code execution. The article provides a detailed technical analysis of the exploitation chain, emphasizing how an attacker could coerce a request to an attacker-controlled address, bypass security measures, and ultimately execute arbitrary commands.
