    Changes in cups-filters:

    - CVE-2026-64611: Fixed Infinite-loop CPU-exhaustion DoS in
       cfIEEE1284NormalizeMakeModel on empty MDL field.
      A user who controls an IEEE-1284 device ID consumed by
       `cfIEEE1284GetMakeModel` can drive
       `cfIEEE1284NormalizeMakeModel` into an infinite loop.
      (bsc#1273145,GHSA-rcq7-rv5g-j3r4)

    - CVE-2026-64612: Fixed Malformed PNG aborts CUPS image filter process
       (missing libpng setjmp recovery)
      A authenticated client that can submit an image print job
       can abort the CUPS filter process by supplying a malformed PNG.
      (bsc#1273146,GHSA-7mxj-cfq5-84ch)

    - Provide cups-browsed as separated cups-filters-cups-browsed
      sub-package so users can uninstall this sub-package
      to completely avoid the generic security risk of cups-browsed.
      cups-browsed auto-creates local print queues for printers which
      are announced via DNS-SD. It is a generic security risk when a
      service (cups-browsed.service) accepts any (possibly malicious)
      incoming information from any host in the local network
      (i.e. any DNS-SD announcements) and from that information
      it auto-creates print queue configurations for CUPS
      (where its server program cupsd runs as root).
      For more information see the openSUSE support database article
      https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:CUPS_and_SANE_Firewall_settings

    - Fixed a regression Error about PPD file during 'driverless' printer setup
      (boo#1256868) and ppd pull out from [driverless] printer feature broken
      (bsc#1256977)

    - unbreak qpdf [bsc#1253678]

    - CVE-2024-47176: Fixed cups-browsed binds to UDP INADDR_ANY:631 (bsc#1230939)
      and to avoid CVE-2024-47850 cups-browsed can be abused to
      initiate remote DDoS against third-party targets (bsc#1231294)
      by removing legacy CUPS Browsing support in cups-browsed
      (introduced 2012) which is no longer needed nowadays.
      CUPS browsing was removed from CUPS since version 1.6.
      Legacy CUPS Browsing is a generic security risk, see the
      section Automated print queue setup via cups-browsed in
      https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:CUPS_and_SANE_Firewall_settings

    - CVE-2024-47076: Fixed lack of input sanitization in cfGetPrinterAttributes5 (bsc#1230937)

    - CVE-2024-47175: Fixed lack of input sanitization in _ppdCreateFromIPP() (bsc#1230932)

    - In general regarding CUPS and cups-browsed security issues see
      https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:CUPS_and_SANE_Firewall_settings
