{"id":"USN-7042-2","summary":"cups-browsed vulnerability","details":"USN-7042-1 fixed a vulnerability in cups-browsed. This update improves the\nfix by removing support for the legacy CUPS printer discovery protocol\nentirely.\n\nOriginal advisory details:\n\n Simone Margaritelli discovered that cups-browsed could be used to create\n arbitrary printers from outside the local network. In combination with\n issues in other printing components, a remote attacker could possibly use\n this issue to connect to a system, created manipulated PPD files, and\n execute arbitrary code when a printer is used. This update disables\n support for the legacy CUPS printer discovery protocol.\n","modified":"2026-02-10T04:45:27Z","published":"2024-10-09T11:55:23Z","related":["UBUNTU-CVE-2024-47176"],"upstream":["CVE-2024-47176","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-47176"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-7042-2"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2024-47176"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"cups-browsed","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:24.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/cups-browsed@2.0.0-0ubuntu10.2?arch=source&distro=noble"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2.0.0-0ubuntu10.2"}]}],"versions":["2.0.0-0ubuntu2","2.0.0-0ubuntu3","2.0.0-0ubuntu9","2.0.0-0ubuntu10","2.0.0-0ubuntu10.1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"availability":"No subscription required","binaries":[{"binary_version":"2.0.0-0ubuntu10.2","binary_name":"cups-browsed"},{"binary_version":"2.0.0-0ubuntu10.2","binary_name":"cups-browsed-tests"}]},"database_specific":{"cves_map":{"ecosystem":"Ubuntu:24.04:LTS","cves":[{"severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}],"id":"CVE-2024-47176"}]},"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/usn/USN-7042-2.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.3"}
