cups-filters: remote command execution

Package(s):cups-filters CVE #(s):CVE-2015-2265
Created:March 16, 2015 Updated:April 7, 2015
Description: From the Red Hat bugzilla:

It was reported that cups-browsed fails to properly sanitize data from the network when creating IPP printer scripts. As a result, an attacker can remotely create a script containing arbitrary commands, which will be executed as the "lp" user when the associated printer is used.

This is the same vulnerability reported as CVE-2014-2707 but the existing fixes rely on a string sanitization function remove_bad_chars() which is not effective.
