Debian Security Advisory DSA 267-2 [email protected]http://www.debian.org/security/ Martin Schulze
April 15th, 2003 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : lpr
Vulnerability : buffer overflow
Problem-Type : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id : CAN-2003-0144
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.
