Description

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)
