A new set of security vulnerabilities has been disclosed in the OpenPrinting Common Unix Printing System (CUPS) on Linux systems that could permit remote command execution under certain conditions. "A remote unauthenticated attacker can silently replace existing printers' (or install new ones) IPP urls with a malicious one, resulting in arbitrary command execution (on the computer) when a print

TL;DR: All versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) are affected by CVE-2024-47076, CVE-2024-47175, CVE-2024-47176 and CVE-2024-47177, but are not vulnerable in their default configurations.Red Hat has been made aware of a group of vulnerabilities (CVE-2024-47076, CVE-2024-47175, CVE-2024-47176 and CVE-2024-47177) within OpenPrinting CUPS, an open source printing system that is prevalent in most modern Linux distributions, including RHEL. Specifically, CUPS provides tools to manage, discover and share printers for Linux distributions. By chaining this group of vulnerabilities together, an a
