Critical CUPS Vulnerability Allows Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution - 2d

A critical vulnerability (CVE-2024-7120) has been discovered in the Common Unix Printing System (CUPS) software, affecting a wide range of Linux distributions. This vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary code remotely without any authentication, potentially leading to a complete compromise of vulnerable systems. The vulnerability arises from CUPS’s handling of print jobs, where an attacker can exploit a flaw in its processing to gain unauthorized access and execute malicious code. This flaw is particularly concerning as it can be exploited remotely, allowing attackers to compromise systems without any user interaction. Organizations using CUPS are strongly advised to prioritize patching their systems with the latest security updates to mitigate this critical vulnerability. Failure to do so could result in significant data breaches, disruption of operations, and potential system control by malicious actors.
