"The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202401-06 (CUPS filters: Remote Code Execution)

  - cups-filters contains backends, filters, and other software required to get the cups printing service
    working on operating systems other than macos. If you use the Backend Error Handler (beh) to create an
    accessible network printer, this security vulnerability can cause remote code execution. `beh.c` contains
    the line `retval = system(cmdline) >> 8;` which calls the `system` command with the operand `cmdline`.
    `cmdline` contains multiple user controlled, unsanitized values. As a result an attacker with network
    access to the hosted print server can exploit this vulnerability to inject system commands which are
    executed in the context of the running server. This issue has been addressed in commit `8f2740357` and is
    expected to be bundled in the next release. Users are advised to upgrade when possible and to restrict
    access to network printers in the meantime. (CVE-2023-24805)

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