CRITICAL 9.8CVE-2024-47175 · Published 26/09/2024 · updated 17/06/2026

Package	Affected versions	Patched versions
libppd openprinting	`= 2.1≤ 2.0.0`	No fix yet

Description

CUPS is a standards-based, open-source printing system, and `libppd` can be used for legacy PPD file support. The `libppd` function `ppdCreatePPDFromIPP2` does not sanitize IPP attributes when creating the PPD buffer. When used in combination with other functions such as `cfGetPrinterAttributes5`, can result in user controlled input and ultimately code execution via Foomatic. This vulnerability can be part of an exploit chain leading to remote code execution (RCE), as described in CVE-2024-47176.
