foomatic-rip memory corruption vulnerability

Foomatic is a database-driven printing system developed by the Linux Foundation's OpenPrinting Working Group, which integrates a general-purpose back-end printing system for Unix with an open-source printer driver. foomatic-rip a.k.a. foomatic-filters is an internal component that helps the...

Scientific Linux Security Update : foomatic on SL6.x i386/x86_64 (20160323)

It was discovered that the unhtmlify function of foomatic-rip did not correctly calculate buffer sizes, possibly leading to a heap-based memory corruption. A malicious attacker could exploit this flaw to cause foomatic-rip to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code. CVE-2010-5325 It was...

cups-filters: foomatic-rip did not consider semicolon as illegal shell escape character

It was discovered that foomatic-rip failed to remove all shell special characters from inputs used to construct command lines for external programs run by the filter. An attacker could possibly use this flaw to execute arbitrary commands...

FreeBSD : xen-kernel -- VMX: guest user mode may crash guest with non-canonical RIP (81f9d6a4-ddaf-11e5-b2bd-002590263bf5)

The Xen Project reports : VMX refuses attempts to enter a guest with an instruction pointer which doesn't satisfy certain requirements. In particular, the instruction pointer needs to be canonical when entering a guest currently in 64-bit mode. This is the case even if the VM entry information...

CVE-2016-2271

CVE-2016-2271 affects Xen VMX on Xen 4.6.x and earlier when running on an Intel or Cyrix CPU. Local HVM guests can trigger a denial of service (guest crash) via vectors related to a non-canonical RIP. Impact is limited to the guest (not the host) per the description; no public patch/version is sp...

The vulnerability of the Foomatic printing filter and the Ubuntu operating system allows a hacker to execute arbitrary commands.

The vulnerability of the foomatic-rip component util.c in the cups-filters package in Foomatic printing and the Ubuntu operating system is related to the use of an incomplete blacklist. Exploiting this vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands using the quotation mark...
