1) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2012-5519)

CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.

CUPS 1.4.4, when running in certain Linux distributions such as Debian GNU/Linux, stores the web interface administrator key in /var/run/cups/certs/0 using certain permissions, which allows local users in the lpadmin group to read or write arbitrary files as root by leveraging the web interface.
