What is CVE-2017-15400?

A vulnerability in the CUPS (Common Unix Printing System) within Google Chrome OS versions prior to 62.0.3202.74 allows remote attackers to exploit insufficient restrictions on IPP filters. This can be done through manipulating a crafted Printer Description File (PPD), which may lead to the execution of arbitrary commands with the same privileges as the CUPS daemon.
