Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2024-45590
DESCRIPTION: expressjs body-parser is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a flaw when url encoding is enabled. By sending a specially crafted payload, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
CWE: CWE-405: Asymmetric Resource Consumption (Amplification)
CVSS Source: IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2024-47176
DESCRIPTION: OpenPrinting cups-browsed could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by the binding on UDP INADDR_ANY:631 and trusting any packet from any source by the cups-browsed service. By sending a Get-Printer-Attributes IPP request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information and execute arbitrary code on the system.
CWE: CWE-20: Improper Input Validation
CVSS Source: IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2024-47076
DESCRIPTION: OpenPrinting ibcupsfilters could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by the failure to validate or sanitize the IPP attributes returned from an IPP server by the libcupsfilters component. By replacing the valid IPP URL with a malicious one, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to add a malicious printer or directly hijack an existing printer.
CWE: CWE-20: Improper Input Validation
CVSS Source: IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score: 8.2
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2024-47177
DESCRIPTION: OpenPrinting cups-filters could allow a local authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the system, caused by an error in cups-filter. By using the FoomaticRIPCommandLine entry in the PPD file, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to inject and execute arbitrary commands on the system.
CWE: CWE-77: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command ('Command Injection')
CVSS Source: IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score: 6.1
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:L)
CVEID: CVE-2024-47175
DESCRIPTION: OpenPrinting libppd could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary command on the system, caused by the failure to validate or sanitize the IPP attributes when writing them to a temporary PPD file by the ppdCreatePPDFromIPP2 function in libppd. By sending a specially crafted request using IPP attribute, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary commands on the system.
CWE: CWE-77: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command ('Command Injection')
CVSS Source: IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score: 7.7
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:L)

Disclaimer
According to the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST), the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is an "industry open standard designed to convey vulnerability severity and help to determine urgency and priority of response." IBM PROVIDES THE CVSS SCORES ""AS IS"" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. CUSTOMERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF ANY ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL SECURITY VULNERABILITY. In addition to other efforts to address potential vulnerabilities, IBM periodically updates the record of components contained in our product offerings. As part of that effort, if IBM identifies previously unidentified packages in a product/service inventory, we address relevant vulnerabilities regardless of CVE date. Inclusion of an older CVEID does not demonstrate that the referenced product has been used by IBM since that date, nor that IBM was aware of a vulnerability as of that date. We are making clients aware of relevant vulnerabilities as we become aware of them. "Affected Products and Versions" referenced in IBM Security Bulletins are intended to be only products and versions that are supported by IBM and have not passed their end-of-support or warranty date. Thus, failure to reference unsupported or extended-support products and versions in this Security Bulletin does not constitute a determination by IBM that they are unaffected by the vulnerability. Reference to one or more unsupported versions in this Security Bulletin shall not create an obligation for IBM to provide fixes for any unsupported or extended-support products or versions.
