USN-7042-2 released an improved fix for cups-browsed. This update provides
the corresponding update for Ubuntu 24.10.
Original advisory details:
Simone Margaritelli discovered that cups-browsed could be used to create
arbitrary printers from outside the local network. In combination with
issues in other printing components, a remote attacker could possibly use
this issue to connect to a system, created manipulated PPD files, and
execute arbitrary code when a printer is used. This update disables
support for the legacy CUPS printer discovery protocol.
