+ <background>
+ <p>
+ Foomatic is a system for connecting printer drivers with spooler systems
+ such as CUPS and LPD. The foomatic-filters package contains wrapper scripts
+ which are designed to be used with Foomatic.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ There is a vulnerability in the foomatic-filters package. This
+ vulnerability is due to insufficient checking of command-line parameters
+ and environment variables in the foomatic-rip filter.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ This vulnerability may allow both local and remote attackers to execute
+ arbitrary commands on the print server with the permissions of the spooler
+ (oftentimes the "lp" user).
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All foomatic users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge sync
+
+ # emerge -pv "&gt;=net-print/foomatic-3.0.2"
+ # emerge "&gt;=net-print/foomatic-3.0.2"</code>
+ <p>
+ PLEASE NOTE: You should update foomatic, instead of foomatic-filters. This
+ will help to ensure that all other foomatic components remain functional.
+ </p>
+ </resolution>
