CVE-2024-47850

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 <a href="https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2024-47176">CVE-2024-47176</a>. (The request is meant to probe the new printer but can be used to create DDoS amplification attacks.)
