2 minute read

CUPS 2.4.3 brings fix for CVE-2023-32324, several improvements and many bug fixes. CUPS now implements fallback for printers with broken firmware, which is not capable of answering to IPP request get-printer-attributes with all, media-col-database - this enables driverless support for bunch of printers which don’t follow IPP Everywhere standard. Aside from the CVE fix the most important fixes are around color settings, printer application support fixes and OpenSSL support.

Detailed list of changes:

  • Fixed memory leaks in create_local_bg_thread() (Issue #466)
  • Fixed media size tolerance in ippeveprinter (Issue #487)
  • Fixed passing command name without path into ippeveprinter (Issue #629)
  • Fixed saving strings file path in printers.conf (Issue #710)
  • Fixed TLS certificate generation bugs (Issue #652)

  • Make Letter the default size in ippevepcl (Issue #543)
  • Now accessing Admin page in Web UI requires authentication (Issue #518)

  • Now report fax attributes and values as needed (Issue #459)
  • Now localize HTTP responses using the Content-Language value (Issue #426)
  • Raised file size limit for importing PPD via Web UI (Issue #433)
