[UPDATE] [hoch] CUPS: Schwachstelle ermöglicht Privilegieneskalation
BSI updates advisory on a high-severity CUPS privilege escalation on RHEL/Fedora — a post-compromise vector for attackers already on Linux print servers.
Summary written by editorial AI · Source link below
Ein lokaler Angreifer kann eine Schwachstelle in CUPS, wie es z.B. in Red Hat Enterprise Linux und Fedora Linux verwendet wird, ausnutzen, um seine Privilegien zu erhöhen.
Editorial Analysis
Print infrastructure on Linux is often under-patched; this local privilege escalation provides a straightforward path to root for attackers with initial access.
Audit and patch CUPS installations on RHEL/Fedora systems, and consider disabling the print service on servers where it is unnecessary.
