The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7043-1 advisory.

Simone Margaritelli discovered that the cups-filters cups-browsed component could be used to create     arbitrary printers from outside the local network. In combination with issues in other printing     components, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to connect to a system, created manipulated     PPD files, and execute arbitrary code when a printer is used. This update disables support for the legacy     CUPS printer discovery protocol. (CVE-2024-47176)

Simone Margaritelli discovered that cups-filters incorrectly sanitized IPP data when creating PPD files. A     remote attacker could possibly use this issue to manipulate PPD files and execute arbitrary code when a     printer is used. (CVE-2024-47076)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
