<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.

<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>
