Ubuntu Security Notice USN-6844-2
June 28, 2024

cups regression
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 23.10
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Summary:

USN-6844-1 caused the cupsd daemon to never start

Software Description:
- cups: Common UNIX Printing System(tm)

Details:

USN-6844-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the CUPS package. The update
lead to the discovery of a regression in CUPS with regards to
how the cupsd daemon handles Listen configuration directive.
This update fixes the problem.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Original advisory details:
Rory McNamara discovered that when starting the cupsd server with a
Listen configuration item, the cupsd process fails to validate if
bind call passed. An attacker could possibly trick cupsd to perform
an arbitrary chmod of the provided argument, providing world-writable
access to the target.
