Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.50721
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2003:060 (LPRng)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to LPRng
announced via advisory MDKSA-2003:060.

Karol Lewandowski discovered a problem with psbanner, a printer filter
that creates a PostScript format banner. psbanner creates a temporary
file for debugging purposes when it is configured as a filter, and does
not check whether or not this file already exists or is a symlink. The
filter will overwrite this file, or the file it is pointing to (if it
is a symlink) with its current environment and called arguments with the
user id that LPRng is running as.

Affected versions: 8.2, 9.0, Corporate Server 2.1

Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
