critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 423764

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - CUPS is a standards-based, open-source printing system, and `libppd` can be used for legacy PPD file
 support. The `libppd` function `ppdCreatePPDFromIPP2` does not sanitize IPP attributes when creating the
 PPD buffer. When used in combination with other functions such as `cfGetPrinterAttributes5`, can result in
 user controlled input and ultimately code execution via Foomatic. This vulnerability can be part of an
 exploit chain leading to remote code execution (RCE), as described in CVE-2024-47176. (CVE-2024-47175)
