    DESCRIPTION
     Foomatic[1] is a compreensive, spooler-independent database of
     printers, printer drivers and driver descriptions.
     
     The foomatic-rip filter in foomatic-filters contains a
     vulnerability[2][3] caused by insufficient checking of command-line
     parameters and environment variables which may allow arbitrary remote
     command execution on the print server with the permissions of the
     spooler user ("lp").

    SOLUTION
     It is recommended that all foomatic users upgrade their packages.
