Description:
In May 2004, a vulnerability was reported in CUPS. A remote user can bypass access control lists in certain cases.

A remote user can supply a printer name containing uppercase or lowercase letters that are different from the case specified in the directive to bypass the directive's access control lists. As a result, a remote or local user can print to a password-protected target queue without having to supply the password.
