  - CUPS is a standards-based, open-source printing system, and `libcupsfilters` contains the code of the
    filters of the former `cups-filters` package as library functions to be used for the data format
    conversion tasks needed in Printer Applications. In CUPS-Filters versions up to and including 1.28.17 and
    libscupsfilters versions 2.0.0 through 2.1.1, CUPS-Filters's `imagetoraster` filter has an out of bounds
    read/write vulnerability in the processing of TIFF image files. While the pixel buffer is allocated with
    the number of pixels times a pre-calculated bytes-per-pixel value, the function which processes these
    pixels is called with a size of the number of pixels times 3. When suitable inputs are passed, the bytes-
    per-pixel value can be set to 1 and bytes outside of the buffer bounds get processed. In order to trigger
    the bug, an attacker must issue a print job with a crafted TIFF file, and pass appropriate print job
    options to control the bytes-per-pixel value of the output format. They must choose a printer
    configuration under which the `imagetoraster` filter or its C-function equivalent
    `cfFilterImageToRaster()` gets invoked. The vulnerability exists in both CUPS-Filters 1.x and the
    successor library libcupsfilters (CUPS-Filters 2.x). In CUPS-Filters 2.x, the vulnerable function is
    `_cfImageReadTIFF() in libcupsfilters`. When this function is invoked as part of
    `cfFilterImageToRaster()`, the caller passes a look-up-table during whose processing the out of bounds
    memory access happens. In CUPS-Filters 1.x, the equivalent functions are all found in the cups-filters
    repository, which is not split into subprojects yet, and the vulnerable code is in `_cupsImageReadTIFF()`,
    which is called through `cupsImageOpen()` from the `imagetoraster` tool. A patch is available in commit
    b69dfacec7f176281782e2f7ac44f04bf9633cfa. (CVE-2025-57812)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
