"The CentOS Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TuxCare
CENTOS7:CLSA-2026:1778163112 advisory.

  - OpenPrinting CUPS is an open source printing system. In versions 2.4.2 and prior, a heap buffer overflow
    vulnerability would allow a remote attacker to launch a denial of service (DoS) attack. A buffer overflow
    vulnerability in the function `format_log_line` could allow remote attackers to cause a DoS on the
    affected system. Exploitation of the vulnerability can be triggered when the configuration file
    `cupsd.conf` sets the value of `loglevel `to `DEBUG`. No known patches or workarounds exist at time of
    publication. (CVE-2023-32324)

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