Security Fix(es):
gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free: A use-after-free flaw was found in the MXF demuxer in GStreamer when handling certain MXF video files. This issue could allow a malicious third party to trigger a crash in the application and may allow code execution.(CVE-2023-44446)
gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free: bugfix
cups-filters: A flaw was found in OpenPrinting CUPS. In certain conditions, a remote attacker can add a malicious printer or directly hijack an existing printer by replacing the valid IPP URL with a malicious one. Also, it is possible that due to a lack of validation of IPP attributes returned by the server, this issue allows attacker-controlled data to be used on the rest of the CUPS system.(CVE-2024-47076)
cups-filters: A security vulnerability was found in OpenPrinting CUPS. The function ppdCreatePPDFromIPP2 in the libppd library is responsible for generating a PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file based on attributes retrieved from an Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) response. Essentially, it takes printer information, usually obtained via IPP, and creates a corresponding PPD file that describes the printer's capabilities (such as supported media sizes, resolutions, color modes, etc.). PPD files are used by printing systems like CUPS (Common Unix Printing System) to communicate with and configure printers. They provide a standardized format that allows different printers to work with the printing system in a consistent way. The ppdCreatePPDFromIPP2 function in libppd doesn't properly check or clean IPP attributes before writing them to a temporary PPD file. This means that a remote attacker, who has control of or has hijacked an exposed printer (through UPD or mDNS), could send a harmful IPP attribute and potentially insert malicious commands into the PPD file.(CVE-2024-47175)

PPD files are used by printing systems like CUPS (Common Unix Printing System) to communicate with and configure printers. They provide a standardized format that allows different printers to work with the printing system in a consistent way. A security issue was discovered in OpenPrinting CUPS. The `cups-browsed` component is responsible for discovering printers on a network and adding them to the system. In order to do so, the service uses two distinct protocols. For the first one, the service binds on all interfaces on UDP port 631 and accepts a custom packet from any untrusted source. This is exploitable from outside the LAN if the computer is exposed on the public internet. The service also listens for DNS-SD / mDNS advertisements trough AVAHI. In both cases, when a printer is discovered by either the UDP packet or mDNS, its IPP or IPPS url is automatically contacted by cups-browsed and a `Get-Printer-Attributes` request is sent to it which can leak potentially sensitive system information to an attacker via the User-Agent header.(CVE-2024-47176)
