Package : netatalk
Vulnerability : missing input sanitising

Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CVE-2008-5718
Debian Bug : 510585

It was discovered that netatalk, an implementation of the AppleTalk
suite, is affected by a command injection vulnerability when processing
PostScript streams via papd. This could lead to the execution of
arbitrary code. Please note that this only affects installations that are
configured to use a pipe command in combination with wildcard symbols
substituted with values of the printed job.

For the stable distribution (etch) this problem has been fixed in
version 2.0.3-4+etch1.
