  written in Perl.

  An input sanitization flaw was found in the foomatic-rip print filter. An
  attacker could submit a print job with the username, title, or job options
  set to appear as a command line option that caused the filter to use a
  specified PostScript printer description (PPD) file, rather than the
  administrator-set one. This could lead to arbitrary code execution with the
  privileges of the 'lp' user. (CVE-2011-2697)
