Comment 5 Klaus Singvogel 2003-10-15 00:09:06 UTC
Available fix seems not to be correct (according to author), because 
it incorrectly returns -1, which causes other conflicts. 
 
and: This problem affects all version of CUPS up to 1.1.19 (= incl. 
SuLi 9.0) if author understands problem correctly. 
 
But author is currently not reachable (maybe doing his contractor job 
a Apple) and it may take its time to verify fixes according to CUPS 
Software Trouble Report system. 
 
First (incorrect) try for fix is found here: 
 http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=94115&action=view 
CUPS STR page is this: 
 http://www.cups.org/str.php?L315 
Comment 6 Thomas Biege 2003-10-20 20:49:00 UTC
Is there a backup for him?  
  
Can you reproduce this bug with the newest CUPS version? 
Comment 7 Klaus Singvogel 2003-10-20 23:43:06 UTC
No, no backup. 
 
Seems that only the Red Hat customer (means not even Red Hat) is 
possible to produce this bug. No code for reproducing the problem 
can be found on cups.org neither on bugzilla.redhat.com

We need to hurry up. 
Comment 11 Klaus Singvogel 2003-11-04 18:24:34 UTC
I must have been removed from update notification of CUPS str. :( 
Currently the website www.cups.org is not reachable. :(  
    Connection timed out. 
Comment 12 Thomas Biege 2003-11-04 18:35:10 UTC
I can connect by using proxy.arcor-ip.de:8080 
I'll append the patch...

Comment 14 Thomas Biege 2003-11-04 18:38:15 UTC
little note: 
"cups-1.1.17-loop.patch seems to be the relevant bit of the 1.1.18->1.1.19 
patch.  This patch presumes that the STR75 patch has already been applied.2 
Comment 15 Klaus Singvogel 2003-11-04 23:16:55 UTC
made packages for: 8.1 (= UL1), 8.2, 8.3 
not affected: 7.3, 9.0 
patchinfo submitted 
Comment 16 Klaus Singvogel 2003-11-04 23:20:34 UTC
I forget to mention that I didn't build a patch for SLEC, 
as Mike Hager is currently not reachable and we don't 
know what to do, what he is planing. 
Comment 17 Thomas Biege 2003-11-04 23:27:24 UTC
reassigning to security-team till bug will be released. 
Comment 18 Thomas Biege 2003-11-07 01:47:23 UTC
