"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2025:1741215546 advisory.

  - CUPS is a standards-based, open-source printing system, and `libppd` can be used for legacy PPD file
    support. The `libppd` function `ppdCreatePPDFromIPP2` does not sanitize IPP attributes when creating the
    PPD buffer. When used in combination with other functions such as `cfGetPrinterAttributes5`, can result in
    user controlled input and ultimately code execution via Foomatic. This vulnerability can be part of an
    exploit chain leading to remote code execution (RCE), as described in CVE-2024-47176. (CVE-2024-47175)

  - libppd <= 2.1b1 ppdCreatePPDFromIPP2 does not validate or sanitize the IPP attributes when writing them to
    a temporary PPD file, allowing the injection of attacker controlled data in the resulting PPD.
    (CVE-2024-47175)

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