"New Scanner Finds Linux, UNIX Servers Exposed to CUPS RCE Attacks"

A new automated tool created by cybersecurity researcher Marcus Hitchins helps security professionals scan environments for devices vulnerable to the Common Unix Printing System (CUPS) Remote Code Execution (RCE) flaw disclosed by Simone Margaritelli. The flaw enables arbitrary RCE under certain conditions. Akamai later showed that the flaw allowed for 600x amplification in Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks. This article continues to discuss the CUPS RCE flaw and the tool developed by Hitchins to scan environments for devices exposed to CUPS RCE attacks.
