Improper authorization control for web services In cups
Description
OpenPrinting CUPS is an open source printing system for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. In versions 2.4.12 and earlier, when the AuthType is set to anything but Basic, if the request contains an Authorization: Basic ... header, the password is not checked. This results in authentication bypass. Any configuration that allows an AuthType that is not Basic is affected. Version 2.4.13 fixes the issue.
Mitigation
Update Impact
