CVE-2026-55453
Public on 2026-10-09
Modified on 2026-10-09
Description
A malicious or attacker-controlled IPP printer can return a crafted text printer-status attribute, such as marker-message, containing embedded newline characters. The CUPS ipp backend reports this remote printer attribute to the scheduler through the backend stderr/status stream. The current quoting helper escapes quotes and backslashes, but it does not reject or encode LF/CR. As a result, attacker-controlled printer status text can create a new backend status line beginning with PPD:.
