Descriptions

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.

La función remove_bad_chars en utils/cups-browsed.c en cups-filters anterior a 1.0.66 permite a impresoras IPP remotas ejecutar comandos arbitrarios a través de metacaracteres de shell consecutivos en el (1) modelo o (2) PDL. NOTA: esta vulnerabilidad existe debido a una solución incompleta para CVE-2014-2707.

cups-browsed in cups-filters before 1.0.66 contained a bug in the remove_bad_chars function, where it failed to reliably filter out illegal characters if there were two or more subsequent illegal characters, allowing execution of arbitrary commands with the rights of the lp user, using forged print service announcements on DNS-SD servers.
