Could not find anything on forums regarding this. maybe Arch is not affected but would like to know for peace of mind.
Forgive me if this has been answered elsewhere.....

Re: Should we be worried about CUPS? [Solved]
It affects anybody who has CUPS installed and enabled.
Mitigation:
# systemctl disable --now cups-browsedBackground: https://www.evilsocket.net/2024/09/26/A … PS-Part-I/

Re: Should we be worried about CUPS? [Solved]
I like many use a wireless printer, have disabled stopped service...what about port 631 itself... Seems a bit like shutting the stable door when the horse is gone!
Anyway hopefully a fix soon.

Just remove cups-browsed , it's only an optdep for cups and not required by anything.
Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.
