In CUPS versions 2.4.16 and prior, the RSS notifier allows
path traversal in notify-recipient-uri (e.g., rss:///../job.cache),
letting a remote IPP client write RSS XML bytes outside
CacheDir/rss. Because CacheDir is group-writable by default,
the notifier (running as lp) can overwrite root-managed state
files via temp-file + rename(), leading to job cache corruption
and loss of queued jobs after restart.

Apply upstream fix to prevent path traversal in RSS notifier.

+Subject: [PATCH] Fix RSS notifier.
+
+OpenPrinting CUPS is an open source printing system for Linux and other
+Unix-like operating systems. In versions 2.4.16 and prior, the RSS
+notifier allows .. path traversal in notify-recipient-uri (e.g.,
+rss:///../job.cache), letting a remote IPP client write RSS XML bytes
+outside CacheDir/rss (anywhere that is lp-writable). In particular,
+because CacheDir is group-writable by default (typically root:lp and
+mode 0770), the notifier (running as lp) can replace root-managed state
+files via temp-file + rename(). This PoC clobbers CacheDir/job.cache
+with RSS XML, and after restarting cupsd the scheduler fails to parse
+the job cache and previously queued jobs disappear.
+
+CVE: CVE-2026-34978
