How to fix?

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream cups-browsed package and not the cups-browsed package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:24.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

CUPS is a standards-based, open-source printing system, and cups-browsed contains network printing functionality including, but not limited to, auto-discovering print services and shared printers. cups-browsed binds to INADDR_ANY:631, causing it to trust any packet from any source, and can cause the Get-Printer-Attributes IPP request to an attacker controlled URL. When combined with other vulnerabilities, such as CVE-2024-47076, CVE-2024-47175, and CVE-2024-47177, an attacker can execute arbitrary commands remotely on the target machine without authentication when a malicious printer is printed to.
