Описание
OpenPrinting CUPS is an open source printing system for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. In versions 2.4.16 and prior, the RSS notifier allows .. path traversal in notify-recipient-uri (e.g., rss:///../job.cache), letting a remote IPP client write RSS XML bytes outside CacheDir/rss (anywhere that is lp-writable). In particular, because CacheDir is group-writable by default (typically root:lp and mode 0770), the notifier (running as lp) can replace root-managed state files via temp-file + rename(). This PoC clobbers CacheDir/job.cache with RSS XML, and after restarting cupsd the scheduler fails to parse the job cache and previously queued jobs disappear. At time of publication, there are no publicly available patches.
A flaw was found in OpenPrinting CUPS. A remote attacker can exploit a path traversal vulnerability in the RSS notifier by manipulating the notify-recipient-uri. This allows writing arbitrary RSS XML data to sensitive files outside the intended directory. This can lead to a denial of service (DoS) by corrupting critical system files, such as the job cache, causing the scheduler to fail and previously queued jobs to disappear.
Меры по смягчению последствий
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability.
