Fedora Core 2 : foomatic-3.0.1-3.1 (2004-303)

high Nessus Plugin ID 14789

Synopsis

The remote Fedora Core host is missing a security update.

Description

Sebastian Krahmer reported a bug in the cupsomatic and foomatic-rip print filters, used by the CUPS print spooler. An attacker who has printing access could send a carefully named file to the print server causing arbitrary commands to be executed as root. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2004-0801 to this issue.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected foomatic and / or foomatic-debuginfo packages.
