Major flaw found in CUPS - time to run Linux system updates

Oooh is this the 9.9 severity vulnerability teased earlier? If it’s printers, that would make total sense, those machines are the spawn of hell.

It seems like the thing to do if you don’t use printers is to erase the cups packages from your system to close that port. Not sure it’s even patched yet.
