RHSA-2011:1110-01 -- Redhat foomaticID: oval:org.secpod.oval:def:500097 | Date: (C)2012-01-31 (M)2021-06-02 |
Class: PATCH | Family: unix |
Foomatic is a comprehensive, spooler-independent database of printers, printer drivers, and driver descriptions. The package also includes spooler-independent command line interfaces to manipulate queues and to print files and manipulate print jobs. foomatic-rip is a print filter written in C. An input sanitization flaw was found in the foomatic-rip print filter. An attacker could submit a print job with the username, title, or job options set to appear as a command line option that caused the filter to use a specified PostScript printer description file, rather than the administrator-set one. This could lead to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the "lp" user. All foomatic users should upgrade to this updated package, which contains a backported patch to resolve this issue.
