foomatic-filters 4.0.12-1 source package in Ubuntu
Changelog
foomatic-filters (4.0.12-1) unstable; urgency=low
[ Till Kamppeter ]
* New upstream release
- If incoming PDF needs to be converted to PostScript
due to the filter command line not being a standard Ghostscript
command line, no separate PDF command line being supplied, or
options in the PPD being implemented by PostScript code, use
preferrably Ghostscript (with the "ps2write" device) for this
conversion as Ghostscript is better optimized for printing and
has a more sophisticated color management compared to Poppler.
- SECURITY FIX: Use the mktemp shell command/mkstemp() function to create
the debug log file and the renderer input data file (both files only
generated when foomatic-rip is un in debug mode) with file names with an
unpredictable part. The names are /tmp/foomatic-rip-XXXXXX.log and
/tmp/foomatic-rip-YYYYYY.ps where the XXXXXX and YYYYYY are replaced by
random strings. Thanks to Tim Waugh from Red Hat for for the patch
(Upstream bug #936, CVE-2011-2924).
* debian/patches/use-ghostscript-for-pdf-to-ps.patch: Removed, merged
upstream.

- foomatic-filters: OpenPrinting printer support - filters
Foomatic is a printer database designed to make it easier to set up
common printers for use with UNIX-like operating systems.
It provides the "glue" between a print spooler (like CUPS or lpr) and
the printer, by processing files sent to the printer.
.
This package consists of filters used by the printer spoolers
to convert the incoming PostScript data into the printer's native
format using a printer-specific, but spooler-independent PPD file.
.
For use with CUPS, you will need both the cups and cups-client
packages installed on your system.
