Mandrake linux security
Pentru ca cei ce folosesc CUPS ca server de printer, implementarea Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) este o gaura serioasa de securitate.
Versiunile de Mandrake care contin CUPS si sunt afectate de acest bug: 9.0 si Corporate Server 2.1.
A bug in versions of CUPS prior to 1.1.19 was reported 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).
