cups-browsed high CPU consumption.

Hi,
I just realized this process was consuming all of my resources.
As a mitigation, I removed CUPS but I wanted to know whether I was been affected by this vulnerability and how can I check it:

Thanks in advance.

Removing cups-browsed (2.0.0-0ubuntu10.2) ... Removing cups-core-drivers (2.4.7-1.2ubuntu7.3) ... Removing cups-daemon (2.4.7-1.2ubuntu7.3) ... Removing cups-server-common (2.4.7-1.2ubuntu7.3) ... Removing hplip-data (3.23.12+dfsg0-0ubuntu5) ...

This has nothing to do with the vulnerability. It is most probably caused by the following issue in CUPS:

OpenPrinting/cups#879

This issue is fixed in a later version of CUPS (2.4.8 or 2.4.9?). Please try to get a newer CUPS version and see whether the problem will go away.
