Package        : rlpr
Vulnerability  : several
Problem-Type   : local, remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Ids        : CAN-2004-0393 CAN-2004-0454

jaguar@felinemenace.org discovered a format string vulnerability in
rlpr, a utility for lpd printing without using /etc/printcap.  While
investigating this vulnerability, a buffer overflow was also
discovered in related code.  By exploiting one of these
vulnerabilities, a local or remote user could potentially cause
arbitrary code to be executed with the privileges of 1) the rlprd
process (remote), or 2) root (local).

CAN-2004-0393: format string vulnerability via syslog(3) in msg()
function in rlpr

CAN-2004-0454: buffer overflow in msg() function in rlpr

For the current stable distribution (woody), this problem has been
fixed in version 2.02-7woody1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you update your rlpr package.
