Based on the cups-filters changelog I suspect this was unintentional fallout, so I'm gonna wait to see if Ubuntu themselves address the issue instead of us.
cups-filters (1.4.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium
* New upstream release
- foomatic-rip: SECURITY FIX: Also consider the semicolon (';') as an
illegal shell escape character. Thanks to Adam Chester for the hint
(CVE-2015-8560, Closes: #807930)
- Added support for Braille embossing via CUPS
[ Till Kamppeter ]
* Changes for the upstream addition of the Braille embosser drivers
* Moved the implicitclass backend from the cups-filters into the cups-browsed
binary package as it is used by cups-browsed (and so already needed by a
level-1 printing stack)
* Added dependencies on imagemagick (>= 6.4~), liblouisutdml-bin, and
poppler-utils to cups-filters, as they are needed to convert images, text,
and PDF to Braille, added antiword and docx2txt to Suggests: as they allow
converting Word files to Braille
