CVE-2012-6094 [CRITICAL] CVE-2012-6094 cups: 'Listen localhost:631' option not honoured correctly on IPv6-enabled systems when systemd used for CUPS socket activation
CVE-2012-6094 cups: 'Listen localhost:631' option not honoured correctly on IPv6-enabled systems when systemd used for CUPS socket activation
During the process of CUPS socket activation code refactoring in favour of systemd capability a security flaw was found in the way CUPS service honoured Listen localhost:631 cupsd.conf configuration option. The setting was recognized properly for IPv4-enabled systems, but failed to be correctly applied for IPv6-enabled systems. As a result, a remote attacker could use this flaw to obtain (unauthorized) access to the CUPS web-based administration interface.
