A buffer overflow was addressed with improved bounds checking.
LOW 3.3EPSS 2.03%
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.03%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
A buffer overflow was addressed with improved bounds checking. This issue is fixed in macOS Catalina 10.15.2, Security Update 2019-002 Mojave, and Security Update 2019-007 High Sierra. In certain configurations, a remote attacker may be able to submit arbitrary print jobs.
