CVE-2015-2265
The remove_bad_chars function in utils/cups-browsed.c in cups-filters before 1.0.66 allows remote IPP printers to execute arbitrary commands via consecutive shell metacharacters in the (1) model or (2) PDL.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.96%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
