Security Fix

CVE-2011-2697
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.
All foomatic users should upgrade to this updated package, which contains a backported patch to resolve this issue.
