    2024-11-13: CVE-2024-47850 was added to this advisory.

    CUPS is a standards-based, open-source printing system, and `libcupsfilters` contains the code of the
    filters of the former `cups-filters` package as library functions to be used for the data format
    conversion tasks needed in Printer Applications. The `cfGetPrinterAttributes5` function in
    `libcupsfilters` does not sanitize IPP attributes returned from an IPP server. When these IPP attributes
    are used, for instance, to generate a PPD file, this can lead to attacker controlled data to be provided
    to the rest of the CUPS system. (CVE-2024-47076)

    CUPS is a standards-based, open-source printing system, and `cups-browsed` contains network printing
    functionality including, but not limited to, auto-discovering print services and shared printers. `cups-
    browsed` binds to `INADDR_ANY:631`, causing it to trust any packet from any source, and can cause the
    `Get-Printer-Attributes` IPP request to an attacker controlled URL.

    Due to the service binding to `*:631 ( INADDR_ANY )`, multiple bugs in `cups-browsed` can be exploited in
    sequence to introduce a malicious printer to the system. This chain of exploits ultimately enables an
    attacker to execute arbitrary commands remotely on the target machine without authentication when a print
    job is started. This poses a significant security risk over the network. Notably, this vulnerability is
    particularly concerning as it can be exploited from the public internet, potentially exposing a vast
    number of systems to remote attacks if their CUPS services are enabled. (CVE-2024-47176)

    CUPS cups-browsed before 2.5b1 will send an HTTP POST request to an arbitrary destination and port in
    response to a single IPP UDP packet requesting a printer to be added, a different vulnerability than
    CVE-2024-47176. (The request is meant to probe the new printer but can be used to create DDoS
    amplification attacks.) (CVE-2024-47850)
