USN-7045-1: libppd vulnerability
26 September 2024

libppd could be made to run programs if it received specially crafted network traffic.

Releases
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Packages
libppd - OpenPrinting libppd

Details
Simone Margaritelli discovered that libppd incorrectly sanitized IPP data
when creating PPD files. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to
manipulate PPD files and execute arbitrary code when a printer is used.

Update instructions
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 24.04
libppd-utils - 2:2.0.0-0ubuntu4.1
libppd2 - 2:2.0.0-0ubuntu4.1
In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
