AlmaLinux 9.2 [TuxCare] Security Update: cups / cups-client / cups-devel / cups-filesystem / cups-ipptool / etc (ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2025:1760984077)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 351936

Synopsis

The AlmaLinux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TuxCare ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2025:1760984077 advisory.

 - OpenPrinting CUPS is an open source printing system for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. In versions 2.4.12 and earlier, an unsafe deserialization and validation of printer attributes causes null dereference in the libcups library. This is a remote DoS vulnerability available in local subnet in default configurations. It can cause the cups & cups-browsed to crash, on all the machines in local network who are listening for printers (so by default for all regular linux machines). On systems where the vulnerability CVE-2024-47176 (cups-filters 1.x/cups-browsed 2.x vulnerability) was not fixed, and the firewall on the machine does not reject incoming communication to IPP port, and the machine is set to be available to public internet, attack vector Network is possible. The current versions of CUPS and cups- browsed projects have the attack vector Adjacent in their default configurations. Version 2.4.13 contains a patch for CVE-2025-58364. (CVE-2025-58364)

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 packages based on the guidance in TuxCare advisory ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2025:1760984077.
