cups-filters could be made to run programs if it received specially crafted network traffic.

Summary

network traffic.

Software Description:

- cups-filters: OpenPrinting CUPS Filters

Details:

Simone Margaritelli discovered that the cups-filters cups-browsed component

could be used to create arbitrary printers from outside the local network.

In combination with issues in other printing components, a remote attacker

could possibly use this issue to connect to a system, created manipulated

PPD files, and execute arbitrary code when a printer is used. This update

disables support for the legacy CUPS printer discovery protocol.
