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 v4.0.12 and prior 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.
