   That's almost 2 years old, bro.   
      
   Also:   
      
       A chain of four vulnerabilities is required for a successful   
       exploitation: CVE-2024-47176, CVE-2024-47076, CVE-2024-47175,   
       and CVE-2024-47177.   
      
   And remote access is needed.   
      
       74635 machines exposed CUPS to the internet.   
      
   Anyway, the article is an interesting read. Thanks DFS!
