    Members of the lpadmin group have admin access to the web interface,
      where they can
      edit the config file and set some “dangerous” directives (like the
      logfilenames), which enable them to read or write files as the user
      running
      the CUPS webserver.
  
Impact :

    A local attacker could possibly exploit this vulnerability to read or
      write files as the user running the CUPS webserver.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."
