    Package        : cups     CVE ID         : CVE-2024-47175

    Simone Margaritelli reported that cups, the Common UNIX Printing System,     does not properly sanitize IPP attributes when creating PPD files, which     may result in the execution of arbitrary code.

    For the stable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed in     version 2.4.2-3+deb12u8.

    We recommend that you upgrade your cups packages.

    For the detailed security status of cups please refer to its security     tracker page at:
