NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream cups-filters package and not the cups-filters package as distributed by Ubuntu.

The remove_bad_chars function in utils/cups-browsed.c in cups-filters before 1.0.66 allows remote IPP printers to execute arbitrary commands via consecutive shell metacharacters in the (1) model or (2) PDL. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2014-2707.
