Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.50760
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2003:104 (cups)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to cups
announced via advisory MDKSA-2003:104.

A bug in versions of CUPS prior to 1.1.19 was reported by Paul
Mitcheson in the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) implementation
would result in CUPS going into a busy loop, which could result in
a Denial of Service (DoS) condition. To be able to exploit this
problem, an attacker would need to be able to make a TCP connection
to the IPP port (port 631 by default).

The provided packages have been patched to correct this problem.

Affected versions: 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.
