                Linux-Mandrake Security Update Advisory
________________________________________________________________________

Package name: cups
Date: November 29th, 2000
Original Advisory Date: November 16th, 2000
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2000:070-1

Affected versions: 7.2
________________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

 A problem existed with previous versions of CUPS that made CUPS
 printers accessible from anywhere on the internet.  A bug also existed
 where CUPS would broadcast to everywhere and thus keep open dial-on-
 demand lines.  Both problems have been addressed in this update and by
 an automatic configuration script.

Update:

 Due to a problem in packaging that is not easily resolved, users will
 have to manually edit the /etc/cups/cupsd.conf file and include in the
 beginning of the file the following line:

    # BROADCASTING CONTROL ON

 All Linux-Mandrake users using CUPS should edit this file and include
 that line to properly secure CUPS.  This fix will only work with
 cups-1.1.4-5.1mdk and higher.
________________________________________________________________________

Please verify these md5 checksums of the updates prior to upgrading to
ensure the integrity of the downloaded package.  You can do this by
running the md5sum program on the downloaded package by using
"md5sum package.rpm".

Linux-Mandrake 7.2:

________________________________________________________________________

To upgrade automatically, use Ť MandrakeUpdate ť.

If you want to upgrade manually, download the updated package from one
of our FTP server mirrors and uprade with "rpm -Fvh *.rpm".

You can download the updates directly from one of the mirror sites
listed at:

  http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/ftp.php3.

Updated packages are available in the "updates/[ver]/RPMS/" directory.
For example, if you are looking for an updated RPM package for
Linux-Mandrake 7.2, look for it in "updates/7.2/RPMS/".  Updated source
RPMs are available as well, but you generally do not need to download
them.

Please be aware that sometimes it takes the mirrors a few hours to
update, so if you want an immediate upgrade, please use one of the two
above-listed mirrors.
