Описание
OpenPrinting CUPS is an open source printing system for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. In versions 2.4.12 and earlier, an unsafe deserialization and validation of printer attributes causes null dereference in the libcups library. This is a remote DoS vulnerability available in local subnet in default configurations. It can cause the cups & cups-browsed to crash, on all the machines in local network who are listening for printers (so by default for all regular linux machines). On systems where the vulnerability CVE-2024-47176 (cups-filters 1.x/cups-browsed 2.x vulnerability) was not fixed, and the firewall on the machine does not reject incoming communication to IPP port, and the machine is set to be available to public internet, attack vector "Network" is possible. The current versions of CUPS and cups-browsed projects have the attack vector "Adjacent" in their default configurations. Version 2.4.13 contains a patch for CVE-2025-58364.
A flaw was found in the CUPS printing system’s ipp_read_io() function, which handles Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) requests. When processing specially crafted printer attribute responses, improper validation can cause a null pointer dereference. This leads to a crash in libcups, potentially disrupting printing services. Since CUPS is widely deployed on Linux systems for printer discovery and management, this issue can cause denial-of-service (DoS) across multiple machines on a local network.
Отчет
The Red Hat Product Security team has assessed the severity of this vulnerability as Moderate . The flaw can be remotely exploited within local subnets to crash CUPS services without requiring authentication or user interaction. In cases where machines expose IPP services to the internet, the vulnerability may be exploitable over the network. The root cause is improper deserialization and validation of printer attributes in the ipp_read_io() function, leading to null pointer dereference and denial-of-service.
Меры по смягчению последствий
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options don't meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability.
