The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.

The vulnerability exists due to an error in implementation of "Local" authorization mechanism. A remote attacker can authenticate as to CUPS as root/admin without the 32-byte secret key and execute arbitrary code on the system.
