system-config-printer is a print queue configuration tool with a graphical
user interface.

It was found that system-config-printer did not properly sanitize NetBIOS
and workgroup names when searching for network printers. A remote attacker
could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the
user running system-config-printer. (CVE-2011-2899)

All users of system-config-printer are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages, which contain a backported patch to resolve this issue. Running
instances of system-config-printer must be restarted for this update to
take effect.
