Detail
| The correction for CAN-2003-0144 for the old stable distribution (potato) was a little bit too strict apparently and this update corrects this. For completeness here is the advisory text: A buffer overflow has been discovered in lpr, a BSD lpr/lpd line printer spooling system. This problem can be exploited by a local user to gain root privileges, even if the printer system is set up properly. For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 2000.05.07-4.3. For the old stable distribution (potato) this problem has been fixed in version 0.48-1.2. For the stable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 2000.05.07-4.20. We recommend that you upgrade your lpr package immediately. |
