Status SummaryVulnerable

Vendor Statement

FreeBSD does not include LPRng in the base system. Older versions of FreeBSD included a vulnerable version of LPRng in the Ports

Collection but this was corrected almost 2 months ago, prior to the release of FreeBSD 4.2. See FreeBSD Security Advisory 00:56 (ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-00:56.lprng.asc) for more information.

US-CERT Addendum

While the default FreeBSD install is not vulnerable to this issue, users runnning the LPRng included the Ports Collections prior to 4.2 should immediately upgrade to the LPRng-3.6.25 in the latest sysutils package.
