From Red Hat Security Advisory 2011:1109 :
An updated foomatic package that fixes one security issue is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5.
The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section.
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 Perl.
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 (PPD) file, rather than the administrator-set one. This could lead to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the ‘lp’ user. (CVE-2011-2697)
All foomatic users should upgrade to this updated package, which contains a backported patch to resolve this issue.
