The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200409-24 (Foomatic: Arbitrary command execution in foomatic-rip filter)
There is a vulnerability in the foomatic-filters package. This vulnerability is due to insufficient checking of command-line parameters and environment variables in the foomatic-rip filter.

This vulnerability may allow both local and remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands on the print server with the permissions of the spooler (oftentimes the 'lp' user).
Workaround :
There is no known workaround at this time.
