Description
This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Asymmetric Resource Consumption (Amplification) (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-45590)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper handling of a large number of requests when url encoding is enabled. A remote attacker can send multiple requests to the server and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
2) Missing Authorization (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-47176)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to missing authorization. A remote attacker can introduce a malicious printer to the system by sending specially crafted packets to port 631/UDP and then execute arbitrary OS commands on the system when a print job is started.
3) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-47076)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to cfGetPrinterAttributes5 does not sanitize IPP attributes returned from an IPP server. A remote attacker can provide controlled data to the rest of the CUPS system.
4) Command Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-47177)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in FoomaticRIPCommandLine. A remote unauthenticated attacker can use a specially crafted PPD file and execute arbitrary commands on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
5) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-47175)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to ppdCreatePPDFromIPP2 does not sanitize IPP attributes when creating the PPD buffer. A remote attacker can inject attacker-controlled data in the resulting PPD.
