Red Hat Security Advisory 2024-1409-03 - An update for cups is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.8 Extended Update Support. Issues addressed include buffer overflow, denial of service, and use-after-free vulnerabilities.
Gentoo Linux Security Advisory 202402-17 - Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in CUPS, the worst of which can lead to arbitrary code execution. Versions greater than or equal to 2.4.7 are affected.
Dell vApp Manger, versions prior to 9.2.4.x contain an arbitrary file read vulnerability. A remote attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability to read arbitrary files from the target system.
This issue was addressed with improved state management of S/MIME encrypted emails. This issue is fixed in macOS Monterey 12.6.8. A S/MIME encrypted email may be inadvertently sent unencrypted.
Ubuntu Security Notice 6184-2 - USN-6184-1 fixed a vulnerability in CUPS. This update provides the corresponding updates for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. It was discovered that CUPS incorrectly handled certain memory operations. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause CUPS to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or to possibly obtain sensitive information.

OpenPrinting CUPS is a standards-based, open source printing system for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. Starting in version 2.0.0 and prior to version 2.4.6, CUPS logs data of free memory to the logging service AFTER the connection has been closed, when it should have logged the data right before. This is a use-after-free bug that impacts the entire cupsd process. The exact cause of this issue is the function `httpClose(con->http)` being called in `scheduler/client.c`. The problem is that httpClose always, provided its argument is not null, frees the pointer at the end of the call, only for cupsdLogClient to pass the pointer to httpGetHostname. This issue happens in function `cupsdAcceptClient` if LogLevel is warn or higher and in two scenarios: there is a double-lookup for the IP Address (HostNameLookups Double is set in `cupsd.conf`) which fails to resolve, or if CUPS is compiled with TCP wrappers and the connection is refused by rules from `/etc/hosts.allow` and `/etc/...
Ubuntu Security Notice 6128-2 - USN-6128-1 fixed a vulnerability in CUPS. This update provides the corresponding update for Ubuntu 16.04 ESM. It was discovered that CUPS incorrectly handled logging. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause CUPS to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
OpenPrinting CUPS is an open source printing system. In versions 2.4.2 and prior, a heap buffer overflow vulnerability would allow a remote attacker to launch a denial of service (DoS) attack. A buffer overflow vulnerability in the function `format_log_line` could allow remote attackers to cause a DoS on the affected system. Exploitation of the vulnerability can be triggered when the configuration file `cupsd.conf` sets the value of `loglevel `to `DEBUG`. No known patches or workarounds exist at time of publication.
