A string reference count bug was found in cupsd, causing premature freeing of string objects. An attacker could submit a malicious print job that exploits this flaw to dismantle ACLs protecting privileged operations, allowing a replacement configuration file to be uploaded, which in turn allowed the attacker to run arbitrary code on the CUPS server.
