- `universal`: Enable `application/vnd.cups-postscript` as input There are filters which produce this MIME type (such as `hpps` of HPLIP), and if someone uses such driver on a client and the server has an IPP Everywhere/driverless printer, the job fails (Pull request #534). - beh backend: Use `execv()` instead of `system()` - CVE-2023-24805 With `execv()` command line arguments are passed as separate strings and not the full command line in a single string. This prevents arbitrary command execution by escaping the quoting of the arguments in a job with forged job title. - beh backend: Extra checks against odd/forged input - CVE-2023-24805 * Do not allow `/` in the scheme of the URI (= backend executable name), to assure that only backends inside `/usr/lib/cups/backend/` are used. * Pre-define scheme buffer to empty string, to be defined for case of URI being NULL. * URI must have `:`, to split off scheme, otherwise error. * Check return value of `snprintf()` to create call path for backend, to error out on truncation of a too long scheme or on complete failure due to a completely odd scheme. - beh backend: Further improvements - CVE-2023-24805 * Use `strncat()` instead of `strncpy()` for getting scheme from URI, the latter does not require setting terminating zero byte in case of truncation. * Also exclude `.` or `..` as scheme, as directories are not valid CUPS backends. * Do not use `fprintf()` in `sigterm_handler()`, to not interfere with a `fprintf()` which could be running in the main process when `sigterm_handler()` is triggered. * Use `static volatile int` for global variable job_canceled. - `parallel` backend: Added missing `#include` lines - foomatic-rip: Fix a SIGPIPE error when calling gs (Pull request #517) [Ubuntu's autopkgtest for foo2zjs](https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/f/foo2zjs/lunar/ppc64el) shows foo2zjs's testsuite failing with cups-filters 2.0beta3 on ppc64el. This is cause by a timing issue in foomatic-rip which is fixed now. - Coverity check done by Zdenek Dohnal for the inclusion of cups-filters in Fedora and Red Hat. Zdenek has fixed all the issues: Missing `free()`, files not closed, potential string overflows, ... Thanks a lot! (Pull request #510). - Dropped all C++ references and obsolete C standards (Pull requests #504 and #513) With no C++ compiler needed, there is no need for any checks or setting for C++ in configure.ac. - configure.ac: Change deprecated AC_PROG_LIBTOOL for LT_INIT (Pull request #508) - texttopdf: Do not include fontconfig.h in the CUPS filter wrapper - Build system: Do not explicitly check for libpoppler-cpp The cups-filters package does not contain any code using libpoppler-cpp, therefore we let ./configure not check for it. - COPYING, NOTICE: Simplification for autotools-generated files autotools-generated files can be included under the license of the upstream code, and FSF copyright added to upstream copyright list. Simplified COPYING appropriately. - Makefile.am: Include LICENSE in distribution tarball - Add templates for issue reports on GitHub. This makes a selection screen appear when clicking "New Issue" in the web UI, to selct whether the issue is a regular bug, a feature request, or a security vulnerability. - Corrected installation path for *.h files of *.drv files. The ppdc (and underlying functions) of libppd searches for include files in /usr/share/ppdc and not in /usr/share/cups/ppdc any more. - configure.ac: Remove unnecessary "AVAHI_GLIB_..." definitions. - Makefile.am: Include NOTICE in distribution tarball - configure.ac: Added "foreign" to to AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE() call. Makes automake not require a file named README. - Cleaned up .gitignore - Tons of fixes in the source code documentation: README.md, INSTALL, DEVELOPING.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, COPYING, NOTICE, ... Adapted to the cups-filters component, added links. - Converted nearly all filters to filter functions, only exceptions are `rastertoescpx`, `rastertopclx`, `commandtoescpx`, `commandtopclx`, and `foomatic-rip`. The latter is deeply involved with Foomatic PPDs and the others are legacy printer drivers. The filter functions are mainly in libcupsfilters, the ones which generate PostScript are in libppd. - Replaced all the filters converted to filter functions by simple wrapper executables using `ppdFilterCUPSWrapper()` of libppd for backward compatibility with CUPS 2.x. - Added new streaming mode triggered by the boolean "filter-streaming-mode" option. In this mode a filter (function) is supposed to avoid everything which prevents the job data from streaming, as loading the whole job (or good part of it) into a temporary file or into memory, interpreting PDF, pre-checking input file type or zero-page jobs, ... This is mainly to be used by Printer Applications when they do raster printing in streaming mode, to run with lowest resources possible. Currently `foomatic-rip`, `ghostscript`, and `pdftopdf` got a streaming mode. For the former two PostScript (not PDF) is assumed as input and no zero-page-job check is done, in the latter all QPDF processing (page management, page size adjustment, ...) is skipped and only JCL according to the PPD added. - The CUPS filter `imagetops` uses the `ppdFilterImageToPS()` filter function of libppd now. - `driverless`, `driverless-fax`: Added IPP Fax Out support. Now printer setup tools list an additional fax "driver". A fax queue is created by selecting this driver. Jobs have to be sent with "-o phone=12345" to supply the destination phone number (Pull request #280, #293, #296, #302, #304, #305, #306, #309, Issue #298, #308). - `sys5ippprinter`: Removed `sys5ippprinter`, as CUPS does not support System V interface scripts any more. This first approach of PPD-less printing was also not actually made use of. - `urftopdf`: Removed as we require CUPS 2.2.2+ now which supports Apple Raster by itself. - Build system, `README.md`: Require CUPS 2.2.2+. Removed now unneeded `./configure` switches for use of the `urftopdf` filter for old CUPS versions. - Sample PPDs: Renamed source directory from `ppd/` to `ppdfiles/`. - Build system: Remove '-D_PPD_DEPRECATED=""' from the compiling command lines of the source files which use libcups. The flag is not supported any more for longer times already and all the PPD-related functions deprecated by CUPS have moved into libppd now. - Build system: Add files in `.gitignore` that are generated by "autogen.sh", "configure", and "make" (Pull request #336).

This layer depends on:
URI: git://github.com/openembedded/openembedded-core.git branch: master
luajit recipe requires host compiler to be able to generate 32bit code when target is 32bit e.g. arm, so ensure that $CC -m32 is functional on build host, if building this recipe, needed packages to fullfit this might have different names on different host distributions e.g. on archlinux based distributions install prerequisites like below
pacman -S lib32-gcc-libs lib32-glibc
Ubuntu sudo apt-get install gcc-multilib linux-libc-dev:i386
Send pull requests to openembedded-devel@lists.openembedded.org with '[meta-oe]' in the subject'
When sending single patches, please use something like: 'git send-email -M -1 --to openembedded-devel@lists.openembedded.org --subject-prefix="meta-oe][PATCH"'
You are encouraged to fork the mirror on GitHub https://github.com/openembedded/meta-openembedded to share your patches, this is preferred for patch sets consisting of more than one patch.
Other services like GitLab, repo.or.cz or self-hosted setups are of course accepted as well, 'git fetch ' works the same on all of them. We recommend GitHub because it is free, easy to use, has been proven to be reliable and has a really good web GUI.
