Overview

CVE-2026-107885 is a low-severity vulnerability affecting openprinting cups. It was published on October 9, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 3.3 (LOW).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 3.3, rated LOW. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

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.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from openprinting. Update cups to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
