CVE-2025-64524 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.5/10 on the CVSS scale. cups-filters contains backends, filters, and other software required to get the cups printing service working on operating systems other than macos. In versions 2.0.1 and prior, a heap-buffer-overflow vulnerability in the rastertopclx filter causes the program to crash with a segmentation fault when processing maliciously crafted input data. EPSS estimates a 0.18% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Description

cups-filters contains backends, filters, and other software required to get the cups printing service working on operating systems other than macos.
