Synopsis: Moderate: foomatic security update

Advisory ID: RHSA-2011:1110-01

Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2011-1110.html

Issue date: 2011-08-01

CVE Names: CVE-2011-2964

=====================================================================

 

1. Summary:

 

An updated foomatic package that fixes one security issue is now available

for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

 

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate

security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score,

which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in

the References section.

 

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

 

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 6) - i386, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux HPC Node (v. 6) - x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 6) - i386, ppc64, s390x, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 6) - i386, x86_64

 

3. Description:

 

Foomatic is a comprehensive, spooler-independent database of printers,

printer drivers, and driver descriptions. The package also includes

spooler-independent command line interfaces to manipulate queues and to

print files and manipulate print jobs. foomatic-rip is a print filter

written in C.

 

An input sanitization flaw was found in the foomatic-rip print filter. An

attacker could submit a print job with the username, title, or job options

set to appear as a command line option that caused the filter to use a

specified PostScript printer description (PPD) file, rather than the

administrator-set one. This could lead to arbitrary code execution with the

privileges of the "lp" user. (CVE-2011-2964)

 

All foomatic users should upgrade to this updated package, which contains

a backported patch to resolve this issue.

 

4. Solution:
