CWE-77  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Command Injection. The generate_local_queue function in utils/cups-browsed.c in cups-browsed in cups-filters before 1.0.53 allows remote IPP printers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the host name. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2014-2707.
