CVE-2011-2899 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Debian security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Debian:9.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream system-config-printer package and not the system-config-printer package as distributed by Debian.
pysmb.py in system-config-printer 0.6.x and 0.7.x, as used in foomatic-gui and possibly other products, allows remote SMB servers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the (1) NetBIOS or (2) workgroup name, which are not properly handled when searching for network printers.
