Description

cups-browsed vulnerability USN-7042-2 released an improved fix for cups-browsed. This update provides the corresponding update for Ubuntu 24.10. Original advisory details: Simone Margaritelli discovered that cups-browsed could be used to create arbitrary printers from outside the local network.
