The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - cups: code execution via unescape ANSI escape sequences (CVE-2014-8166)

  - In macOS High Sierra before 10.13.5, an issue existed in CUPS. This issue was addressed with improved     access restrictions. (CVE-2018-4180, CVE-2018-4181)
