Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.50722
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2003:062 (cups)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to cups
announced via advisory MDKSA-2003:062.

A Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability was discovered in the CUPS
printing system by Phil D'Amore of Red Hat. The IPP (Internet Printing
Protocol) that CUPS uses is single-threaded and can only service one
request at a time. A malicious user could create a partial request
that does not time out and cause a Denial of Service condition where
CUPS will not respond to other printing requests. This can only be
done if the malicious user can create a TCP connection to the IPP
port (631 by default).

This vulnerability has been fixed upstream in CUPS 1.1.19 and packages
of previous versions have been fixed to correct the problem.

Affected versions: 8.2, 9.0, 9.1, Corporate Server 2.1,
Multi Network Firewall 8.2


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