How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.3 cups-ddk to version 2.2.7-150000.3.51.2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream cups-ddk package and not the cups-ddk package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.3 relevant fixed versions and status.

Due to failure in validating the length provided by an attacker-crafted PPD PostScript document, CUPS and libppd are susceptible to a heap-based buffer overflow and possibly code execution. This issue has been fixed in CUPS version 2.4.7, released in September of 2023.
