Cups · Cups · CVE-2024-47176
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
cups versions prior to 2.4.11-alt1
cups-browsed versions prior to 2.0.1-0ubuntu2.1
cups-filters (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
The Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) and related components, including `cups-browsed` and `cups-filters`, are affected by multiple vulnerabilities. These issues include remote command injection via manipulation of PPD files (`libppd`), improper binding of `cups-browsed` to all interfaces allowing unauthorized access, and a lack of sanitization of IPP attributes in `cups-filters`. Exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. The `cups-browsed` component binds to UDP INADDR ANY:631, potentially allowing unauthorized access. The `cfGetPrinterAttributes` API in `cups-filters` does not sanitize returned IPP attributes, leading to potential vulnerabilities.
**Recommendations**
Update to cups version 2.4.11-alt1 or later.
Update to cups-browsed version 2.0.1-0ubuntu2.1 or later.
Update cups-filters to the latest available version.
