CVE-2008-5718
The papd daemon in Netatalk before 2.0.4-beta2, when using certain variables in a pipe command for the print file, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in a print request, as demonstrated using a crafted Title.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (4.53%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
