cups vulnerability
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Summary:

CUPS could be made to crash or run programs if it received specially
crafted network traffic.

Software Description:
- cups: Common UNIX Printing System(tm)

Details:

Simone Margaritelli discovered that CUPS incorrectly sanitized IPP
data when creating PPD files. A remote attacker could possibly use this
issue to manipulate PPD files and execute arbitrary code when a printer is
used.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
   cups                            2.4.7-1.2ubuntu7.3

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
   cups                            2.4.1op1-1ubuntu4.11

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
   cups                            2.3.1-9ubuntu1.9

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
