The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.10 / 24.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-6844-1 advisory.

Rory McNamara discovered that when starting the cupsd server with a Listen configuration item, the cupsd     process fails to validate if bind call passed. An attacker could possibly trick cupsd to perform an     arbitrary chmod of the provided argument, providing world-writable access to the target.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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