Описание
OpenPrinting CUPS is an open source printing system for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. In versions 2.4.16 and prior, in a network-exposed cupsd with a shared target queue, an unauthorized client can send a Print-Job to that shared PostScript queue without authentication. The server accepts a page-border value supplied as textWithoutLanguage, preserves an embedded newline through option escaping and reparse, and then reparses the resulting second-line PPD: text as a trusted scheduler control record. A follow-up raw print job can therefore make the server execute an attacker-chosen existing binary such as /usr/bin/vim as lp. At time of publication, there are no publicly available patches.
A flaw was found in OpenPrinting CUPS. An unauthorized client can exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted print job to a shared PostScript queue without authentication. The server improperly handles the page-border value, allowing an attacker to embed and reparse malicious text as a trusted scheduler control record. This can lead to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the 'lp' user, potentially compromising the affected system.
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.
