EulerOS 2.0 SP12 : cups (EulerOS-SA-2024-2932)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 212603

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the versions of the cups package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 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)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS cups security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected cups packages.
