Description

This security bulletin contains information about 5 vulnerabilities.


1) UNIX symbolic link following (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-35235)

CWE-ID: CWE-61 - UNIX Symbolic Link (Symlink) Following

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a symlink following issue. A local user can create a specially crafted symbolic link to a critical file on the system and make it world-writable.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in privilege escalation.


2) Missing Authorization (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-47176)

CWE-ID: CWE-862 - Missing Authorization

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:A/U:Amber


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.

The vulnerability exists due to missing authorization. A remote attacker can introduce a malicious printer to the system by sending specially crafted packets to port 631/UDP and then execute arbitrary OS commands on the system when a print job is started.


3) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-47076)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:A/U:Amber


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to cfGetPrinterAttributes5 does not sanitize IPP attributes returned from an IPP server. A remote attacker can provide controlled data to the rest of the CUPS system.


4) Command Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-47177)

CWE-ID: CWE-77 - Command injection

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:A/U:Amber


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in FoomaticRIPCommandLine. A remote unauthenticated attacker can use a specially crafted PPD file and execute arbitrary commands on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


5) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-47175)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:A/U:Amber


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to ppdCreatePPDFromIPP2 does not sanitize IPP attributes when creating the PPD buffer. A remote attacker can inject attacker-controlled data in the resulting PPD.
