JSON

cupsd in CUPS 1.3.9 and earlier allows local users, and possibly remote
attackers, to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) by adding a large
number of RSS Subscriptions, which triggers a NULL pointer dereference.
NOTE: this issue can be triggered remotely by leveraging CVE-2008-5184.

Notes

Author	Note
mdeslaur	Only 1.3.x has rss subscriptions, so dapper is not vulnerable
