GHSA-rj88-6mr5-rcw8 https://www.evilsocket.net/2024/09/26/Attacking-UNIX-systems-via-CUPS-Part-I/

In Summary there are four vulnerabilities:

"CUPS is a standards-based, open-source printing system, and cups-browsed contains network printing functionality including, but not limited to, auto-discovering print services and shared printers. cups-browsed binds to INADDR_ANY:631, causing it to trust any packet from any source, and can cause the Get-Printer-Attributes IPP request to an attacker controlled URL. When combined with other vulnerabilities, such as CVE-2024-47076, CVE-2024-47175, and CVE-2024-47177, an attacker can execute arbitrary commands remotely on the target machine without authentication when a malicious printer is printed to."

The commands are executed through foomatic-rip binary, to detect such executions run the following filter on tetragon JSON events:

jq 'select(.process_exec != null) |
select(.process_exec.parent.binary | contains("foomatic-rip"))'
/var/log/tetragon/tetragon.log

This policy can detect and block foomatic-rip binary from executing commands, however according to CUPS developers:
"...we can certainly recommend that people not use Foomatic, but there are likely
hundreds of older printer models (before 2010) that are only supported through
Foomatic."

Hi, thanks for nice polity! Maybe we can use Postfix operator and check only cups/filter/foomatic-rip ?
