CVE-2023-24805 – Command injection in cups-filters

https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2023-24805

cups-filters contains backends, filters, and other software required to get the cups printing service working on operating systems other than macos. If you use the Backend Error Handler (beh) to create an accessible network printer, this security vulnerability can cause remote code execution. `beh.c` contains the line `retval = system(cmdline) >> 8;` which calls the `system` command with the operand `cmdline`. `cmdline` contains multiple user controlled, unsanitized values. As a result an attacker with network access to the hosted print server can exploit this vulnerability to inject system commands which are executed in the context of the running server. • https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups-filters/commit/8f274035756c04efeb77eb654e9d4c4447287d65 https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups-filters/security/advisories/GHSA-gpxc-v2m8-fr3x https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2023/05/msg00021.html https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/KL2SJMZQ5T5JIH3PMQ2CGCY5TUUE255Y https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/YNCGL2ZTAS2GFF23QFT55UFWIDMI4ZJK https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/202401-06 https:/ • CWE-78: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') CWE-94: Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') •
