  - OpenPrinting CUPS through 2.4.20 contains a resource-exhaustion vulnerability in the submission-timeout
    handling of cupsdCheckJobs(). The scheduler suppresses timeout processing for all pending jobs whenever
    any client connection has an in-flight Send-Document operation, without matching that connection to the
    job being examined. A client allowed to reach the IPP service can hold an incomplete HTTP request
    containing parsed Send-Document headers before operation authorization, preventing unrelated incomplete
    jobs from expiring. Where Create-Job submission is allowed, incomplete jobs can accumulate until MaxJobs
    is exhausted and further legitimate print submissions are rejected. The suppression ends when the held
    connection closes. (CVE-2026-107885)

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