Since there were some questions about the severity of the CUPS vulnerability due to it requiring the presence of the cups-browsed daemon and UDP port 631 being open to the internet, I performed a global scan to gather more data.
Of the 61,763 systems I found which had CUPS exposed to the internet, 13,289 of them returned a valid response when probed on UDP port 631, indicating the port was reachable and cups-browsed daemon was running.
The top affected countries are as follows: US: 3381, DE: 2790, RU: 853, FR: 724, NL: 634, SG: 582, IN: 579, FI: 566, GB: 533, CA: 282, BR: 227, JP: 202, KR: 151, ID: 141, PL: 136, CN: 131, HK: 121
