Title: LPRNG html2ps Remote Command Execution Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
A vulnerability has been discovered in the html2ps filter which is included in the lprng print system.
It has been reported that it is possible for a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands. Depending on the method used to invoke the lpr daemon, it may be possible to execute commands with root privileges. The attacker must reportedly already have access to the 'lp' (or equivalent) account to exploit this condition.
This cause of this vulnerability is that html2ps may open files using unsanitized input that may be supplied by a potentially malicious user.
