"The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
ALINUX3-SA-2026:0203 advisory.

    Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2026-34980:
    OpenPrinting CUPS is an open source printing system for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. In
    versions 2.4.16 and prior, in a network-exposed cupsd with a shared target queue, an unauthorized client
    can send a Print-Job to that shared PostScript queue without authentication. The server accepts a page-
    border value supplied as textWithoutLanguage, preserves an embedded newline through option escaping and
    reparse, and then reparses the resulting second-line PPD: text as a trusted scheduler control record. A
    follow-up raw print job can therefore make the server execute an attacker-chosen existing binary such as
    /usr/bin/vim as lp. At time of publication, there are no publicly available patches.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Alibaba Cloud Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
