A Incorrect Default Permissions vulnerability in the packaging of cups of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11-SP4-LTSS, SUSE Manager Server 4.0, SUSE OpenStack Cloud Crowbar 9; openSUSE Leap 15.2, Factory allows local attackers with control of the lp users to create files as root with 0644 permissions without the ability to set the content. This issue affects: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11-SP4-LTSS cups versions prior to 1.3.9. SUSE Manager Server 4.0 cups versions prior to 2.2.7. SUSE OpenStack Cloud Crowbar 9 cups versions prior to 1.7.5. openSUSE Leap 15.2 cups versions prior to 2.2.7. openSUSE Factory cups version 2.3.3op2-2.1 and prior versions.

The version of cups installed on the remote host is prior to 1.6.3-51. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2024-2628 advisory.

    A Incorrect Default Permissions vulnerability in the packaging of cups of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server     11-SP4-LTSS, SUSE Manager Server 4.0, SUSE OpenStack Cloud Crowbar 9; openSUSE Leap 15.2, Factory allows     local attackers with control of the lp users to create files as root with 0644 permissions without the     ability to set the content.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - cups: insecure permissions of /var/log/cups allows for symlink attacks (CVE-2021-25317)

  - OpenPrinting CUPS is an open source printing system. In versions 2.4.2 and prior, a heap buffer overflow     vulnerability would allow a remote attacker to launch a denial of service (DoS) attack. A buffer overflow     vulnerability in the function `format_log_line` could allow remote attackers to cause a DoS on the     affected system. Exploitation of the vulnerability can be triggered when the configuration file     `cupsd.conf` sets the value of `loglevel `to `DEBUG`. No known patches or workarounds exist at time of     publication. (CVE-2023-32324)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - cups: insecure permissions of /var/log/cups allows for symlink attacks (CVE-2021-25317)

  - cups, libppd: Postscript Parsing Heap Overflow (CVE-2023-4504)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

According to the versions of the cups package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - In macOS High Sierra before 10.13.5, an issue existed     in CUPS. This issue was addressed with improved access     restrictions.(CVE-2018-4181)

  - It was discovered that CUPS allows non-root users to     pass environment variables to CUPS backends. Affected     backends use attacker-controlled environment variables     without proper sanitization. A local attacker, who is     part of one of the groups specified in the SystemGroups     directive, could use the cupsctl binary to set SetEnv     and PassEnv directives and potentially controls the     flow of the affected backend, resulting in some cases     in arbitrary code execution with root     privileges.(CVE-2018-4180)
