CUPS cups-browsed before 2.5b1 will send an HTTP POST request to an arbitrary destination and port in response to a single IPP UDP packet requesting a printer to be added, a different vulnerability than CVE-2024-47176. (The request is meant to probe the new printer but can be used to create DDoS amplification attacks.)

The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 / SLES_SAP12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2024:3570-1 advisory.

    - CVE-2024-47176: cups-browsed binds on UDP port 631 and trusts packets that try to trigger a Get-Printer-     Attributes       IPP request. (bsc#1230939)
    - CVE-2024-47850: cups-browsed can be abused to initiate remote DDoS against third-party targets     (bsc#1231294)


    The fix is disabling the CUPS protocol in cups-browsed.
