The cupshelpers scripts in system-config-printer in Ubuntu 11.04 and 11.10,
as used by the automatic printer driver download service, uses an “insecure
connection” for queries to the OpenPrinting database, which allows remote
attackers to execute arbitrary code via a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack
that modifies packages or repositories.
