NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream foomatic package and not the foomatic package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

foomatic-rip filter, all versions, used insecurely creates temporary files for storage of PostScript data by rendering the data when the debug mode was enabled. This flaw may be exploited by a local attacker to conduct symlink attacks by overwriting arbitrary files accessible with the privileges of the user running the foomatic-rip universal print filter.
