REDHAT-BUG-2314256
First published: Mon Sep 23 2024(Updated: )
A remote attacker who has successfully installed or hijacked an exposed printer (via UPD or mDNS) and was able to return a malicious IPP attribute, the attacker may be able to exploit FoomaticRIPCommandLine to execute arbitrary commands. Due to a lack of sanitization in `cfGetPrinterAttributes` API and `ppdCreatePPDFromIPP2`, a vulnerable CUPS system will execute the `foomatic-rip` filter binary when a print job is sent to the printer.
