Default cups-browsed

I'm not sure it impacts this community as much with the LPD print spooler provided in base BSD installs. For BSD users using cups, cups-browsed needed to be manually enabled.
Cups will run without cups-browsed but will not "discover" printers on the LAN.

I have a Debian system for CAD and the quick mitigation is to
# systemctl stop cups-browsed && systemctl disable cups-browsed
For BSD users, just stop/disable cups-browsed in rc.conf/rc.conf.local.

Full write up of the vulnerability here (well, part one anyway):

From what I see, cups-browsed does not exist on my setup of NetBSD and OpenBSD.

On OpenBSD 7.5 amd64 I did a

Code:
pkg_info -f cups-browsed  | grep depend
and seems it is only needed by
  • net/avahi
  • print/libppd

Some cups files were pulled in on those systems, probably by Firefox.

That assumes I used the correct command

I looked at the PLiSTs for FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD. It looks like AVAHI is enabled in the default FreeBSD package only.

freshports /print/cups/

Correction: cups-browsed is a run depends in OpenBSD and should get installed by default. It still needs to be manually enabled.

@jmccue

pkg_info, without flags, shows the names and one-line comment for installed packages.

I use
$ pkg_info | grep cups-browsed
