26 September 2024
CUPS could be made to crash or run programs if it received specially crafted network traffic.
Releases
Packages
- cups - Common UNIX Printing System(tm)
Details
Simone Margaritelli discovered that CUPS incorrectly sanitized IPP
data when creating PPD files. A remote attacker could possibly use this
issue to manipulate PPD files and execute arbitrary code when a printer is
used.
Update instructions
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:
Ubuntu 24.04
Ubuntu 22.04
Ubuntu 20.04
In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
