Hi Moritz,
(CC'ing #635549 as it was mentionned there and team at s.d.o as per [0])

First of all, sorry for the delay.

I have been preparing a stable-security upload for foomatic-filters, 
reportedly vulnerable to CVE-2011-2964 in its version currently in 
stable.

(By the way, given that there is _no_ C version of foomatic-rip in 
lenny's foomatic-filters, I think that lenny is not affected by 
CVE-2011-2964; it is by CVE-2011-2697 though, I'll see what I can do on 
that side.)

The Ubuntu folks have already uploaded a fix for this specific issue 
[1], so I have just taken their patch. debdiff and patch are attached, 
proposed changelog entry is below, please comment.

foomatic-filters (4.0.5-6+squeeze1) stable-security; urgency=high

   * Fix CVE-2011-2964
     "foomaticrip.c in foomatic-rip in foomatic-filters allows remote 
attackers
      to execute arbitrary code via a crafted *FoomaticRIPCommandLine 
field in
      a .ppd file."
     - Import debian/patches/CVE-2011-2964.patch from Ubuntu maverick's
       4.0.5-0ubuntu3.1, enhance its DEP-3 headers.

Cheers,

OdyX
