Recently patched CUPS flaw can be used to amplify DDoS attacks

**CUPS CVE-2024-47176 enables high-amplification DDoS and RCE chains** — Akamai researchers show that a specially crafted single UDP packet to the cups-browsed daemon can cause vulnerable CUPS servers to generate much larger IPP/HTTP requests (up to ~600x amplification) and in some cases enter endless request loops; roughly 58,000 exposed servers could be abused for DDoS botnets, so administrators should patch or disable cups-browsed immediately.
