A vulnerability has been identified in CUPS, which could be exploited by attackers to cause a denial of service. This issue is due to a design error where the application does not use separate workers for connections during SSL negotiation, which could be exploited by attackers to prevent other requests from being accepted until the active connection is closed, creating a denial of service condition.
