libppd vulnerability
==========================================================================

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

- Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

libppd could be made to run programs if it received specially crafted
network traffic.

Software Description:
- libppd: OpenPrinting libppd

Details:

Simone Margaritelli discovered that libppd 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.

package versions:
