Upgrade your vulnerable CUPS package to a supported stable release as provided by your distribution and restart the cups or cups-browsed service as soon as possible.

...

If CUPS cannot be updated,  please uninstall the packages ... /disable the packages 


For most distributions you can disabled the affected services with 

sudo systemctl stop cups-browsed

sudo systemctl stop cups

sudo systemctl disable cups-browsed

sudo systemctl disable cups


In some Ubuntu instances cups may have been installed through snapd so you may need to run the following instead.

sudo systemctl stop snap.cups.cupsd.service

sudo systemctl stop snap.cups.cups-browsed.service

sudo systemctl disable snap.cups.cupsd.service

sudo systemctl disable snap.cups.cups-browsed.service
