CVE-2017-18190 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Debian:12 cups to version 2.2.3-2 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream cups package and not the cups package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:12 relevant fixed versions and status.
A localhost.localdomain whitelist entry in valid_host() in scheduler/client.c in CUPS before 2.2.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary IPP commands by sending POST requests to the CUPS daemon in conjunction with DNS rebinding. The localhost.localdomain name is often resolved via a DNS server (neither the OS nor the web browser is responsible for ensuring that localhost.localdomain is 127.0.0.1).
