CVE-2026-34980

OpenPrinting CUPS is an open source printing system for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. In versions 2.4.16 and prior, in a network-exposed cupsd with a shared target queue, an unauthorized client can send a Print-Job to that shared PostScript queue without authentication. The server accepts a page-border value supplied as textWithoutLanguage, preserves an embedded newline through option escaping and reparse, and then reparses the resulting second-line PPD: text as a trusted scheduler control record. A follow-up raw print job can therefore make the server execute an attacker-chosen existing binary such as /usr/bin/vim as lp. At time of publication, there are no publicly available patches.

CUPS is the standards-based, open source printing system developed by Apple Inc. for UNIX®-like operating systems. CUPS uses the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) to support printing to local and network printers.

Security Fix(es):

OpenPrinting CUPS is an open source printing system for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. In versions 2.4.16 and prior, CUPS daemon (cupsd) contains an authorization bypass vulnerability due to case-insensitive username comparison during authorization checks. The vulnerability allows an unprivileged user to gain unauthorized access to restricted operations by using a user with a username that differs only in case from an authorized user. At time of publication, there are no publicly available patches.(CVE-2026-27447)

OpenPrinting CUPS is an open source printing system for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. In versions 2.4.16 and prior, the RSS notifier allows .. path traversal in notify-recipient-uri (e.g., rss:///../job.cache), letting a remote IPP client write RSS XML bytes outside CacheDir/rss (anywhere that is lp-writable). In particular, because CacheDir is group-writable by default (typically root:lp and mode 0770), the notifier (running as lp) can replace root-managed state files via temp-file + rename(). This PoC clobbers CacheDir/job.cache with RSS XML, and after restarting cupsd the scheduler fails to parse the job cache and previously queued jobs disappear. At time of publication, there are no publicly available patches.(CVE-2026-34978)

OpenPrinting CUPS is an open source printing system for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. In versions 2.4.16 and prior, a local unprivileged user can coerce cupsd into authenticating to an attacker-controlled localhost IPP service with a reusable Authorization: Local ... token. That token is enough to drive /admin/ requests on localhost, and the attacker can combine CUPS-Create-Local-Printer with printer-is-shared=true to persist a file:///... queue even though the normal FileDevice policy rejects such URIs. Printing to that queue gives an arbitrary root file overwrite; the PoC below uses that primitive to drop a sudoers fragment and demonstrate root command execution.

OpenPrinting CUPS is an open source printing system for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. In versions 2.4.16 and prior, an integer underflow vulnerability in _ppdCreateFromIPP() (cups/ppd-cache.c) allows any unprivileged local user to crash the cupsd root process by supplying a negative job-password-supported IPP attribute. The bounds check only caps the upper bound, so a negative value passes validation, is cast to size_t (wrapping to ~2^64), and is used as the length argument to memset() on a 33-byte stack buffer. This causes an immediate SIGSEGV in the cupsd root process. Combined with systemd's Restart=on-failure, an…

Ariel Silver discovered that CUPS incorrectly handled username comparisons during authorization checks. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to gain unauthorized access to restricted operations. (CVE-2026-27447)

Asim Viladi Oglu Manizada discovered that CUPS incorrectly handled notify-recipient-uri values in the RSS notifier. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to overwrite lp-writable files and cause a denial of service. (CVE-2026-34978)

Jacob Newman discovered that CUPS incorrectly handled filter option strings when processing job attributes. An attacker could use this issue to cause CUPS to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2026-34979)

Asim Viladi Oglu Manizada discovered that CUPS incorrectly handled page-border values in shared PostScript queues. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2026-34980)

Asim Viladi Oglu Manizada discovered that CUPS incorrectly handled localhost authentication to attacker-controlled IPP services. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to overwrite arbitrary files and execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2026-34990)

Tomer Fichman discovered that CUPS incorrectly handled negative job-password-supported values. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to cause CUPS to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2026-39314)

Tomer Fichman discovered that CUPS incorrectly handled temporary printer deletion. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause CUPS to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2026-39316)

Tomer Fichman discovered that CUPS incorrectly handled certain malformed SNMP responses. An attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2026-41079)

It was discovered that CUPS did not properly filter control characters in IPP string attributes and PPD keywords. An unauthenticated attacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary code as the lp user on systems with shared target queues.
