vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - cups: stack-buffer-overflow in libcups's asn1_get_packed function (CVE-2019-8696)

  - In macOS High Sierra before 10.13.5, an issue existed in CUPS. This issue was addressed with improved
    access restrictions. (CVE-2018-4180, CVE-2018-4181)

  - The session cookie generated by the CUPS web interface was easy to guess on Linux, allowing unauthorized
    scripted access to the web interface when the web interface is enabled. This issue affected versions prior
    to v2.2.10. (CVE-2018-4300)

  - Rejected reason: DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER. ConsultIDs: CVE-2018-4300. Reason: This candidate is a
    duplicate of CVE-2018-4300. Notes: All CVE users should reference CVE-2018-4300 instead of this candidate.
    All references and descriptions in this candidate have been removed to prevent accidental usage
    (CVE-2018-4700)

  - A buffer overflow issue was addressed with improved memory handling. This issue is fixed in macOS Mojave
    10.14.6, Security Update 2019-004 High Sierra, Security Update 2019-004 Sierra. An attacker in a
    privileged network position may be able to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-8675)

  - An input validation issue was addressed with improved memory handling. This issue is fixed in macOS Big
    Sur 11.1, Security Update 2020-001 Catalina, Security Update 2020-007 Mojave. A malicious application may
    be able to read restricted memory. (CVE-2020-10001)

  - A memory corruption issue was addressed with improved validation. This issue is fixed in macOS Catalina
    10.15.4. An application may be able to gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2020-3898)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package
is installed.");
