CVE-2024-47177 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
There is no fixed version for RHEL:8 cups-filters.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream cups-filters package and not the cups-filters package as distributed by RHEL.
See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.
** DISPUTED ** CUPS is a standards-based, open-source printing system, and cups-filters provides backends, filters, and other software for CUPS 2.x to use on non-Mac OS systems. Any value passed to FoomaticRIPCommandLine via a PPD file will be executed as a user controlled command. When combined with other logic bugs as described in CVE-2024-47176, this can lead to remote command execution.
This vulnerability has been disputed by a third party because FoomaticRIPCommandLine is functionality that is intended to execute administrator specified code.
