| Organization | Published | Contributor | Statement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Red Hat | 2008-05-15 | Mark J Cox | NVD clarification: To exploit this flaw an attacker needs to print a malicious file through the vulnerable filter (either themselves or by convincing a victim to do so), it should therefore be AC:M In CUPS, print filters run as an unprivileged user no superuser (root), therefore this should be scored C:P, I:P, A:P |
