- CVE-2008-0882 Double free vulnerability in the process_browse_data function in CUPS 1.3.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) and possibly the execution of arbitrary code via crafted packets to the cupsd port (631/udp), related to an unspecified manipulation of a remote printer.
