⚠️ Critical Linux CUPS Flaws Expose Systems to Remote Code Execution Risks

🚨 Breaking Linux Security News: Several critical vulnerabilities have been found in the CUPS (Common Unix Printing System) for Linux systems, potentially allowing remote attackers to execute commands and take control of affected systems.

These vulnerabilities impact major Linux distributions like ArchLinux, Debian, Fedora, RHEL, and ChromeOS, among others. They could enable attackers to replace printers with malicious ones, leading to remote command execution when print jobs are sent.

⚠️ Key Vulnerabilities:

CVE-2024-47176: Vulnerability in cups-browsed allowing attackers to control printer attributes.
CVE-2024-47076: Flaw in libcupsfilters that can manipulate data.
CVE-2024-47175: Bug in libppd allowing malicious data injection.
CVE-2024-47177: Vulnerability in foomatic-rip allowing command execution.
🔒 Patches are being developed, but it's advised to disable the cups-browsed service and block UDP port 631 to mitigate risks. While not as widespread as Log4Shell, this vulnerability chain can still be highly dangerous.

🔑 Stay informed and secure your systems!
