"The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
USN-2838-1 advisory.

    Adam Chester discovered that the cups-filters foomatic-rip filter incorrectly stripped shell escape
    characters. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code as the lp user.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
