CUPS v1.1.6-3 Source Update Now Available!

Created at 09:00 Feb 20, 2001 by mike, last modified at 13:35 Apr 11, 2001

An updated source distribution for CUPS is now available that fixes some distribution problems.  The new distribution also includes several security and bug fixes:

        

• The configure script put the JPEG library before the
          TIFF library; this caused problems in some
          configurations since the TIFF library also supports
          JPEG compression of TIFF images.

          

• Updated the configure script and makefiles to handle
          admin man pages with the "1m" extension (HP-UX, IRIX,
          Solaris, Tru64) and in odd directories (IRIX)

          

• The updated cupsTempFile() function did not return
          the filename when called with a filename buffer of
          NULL (previously it used a static buffer.)

          

• FreeBSD uses /dev/unlptN, but NetBSD and OpenBSD use
          /dev/ulptN.

          

• DeletePrinter() didn't remove the printer from any
          classes it was a member of.

          

• DeletePrinterFromClass() didn't preserve the
          implicit status of a class.

          

• DeletePrinterFromClasses() didn't remove printers
          from implicit classes.

          

• StartJob() didn't send the job-sheets, job-priority,
          and job-hold-until attributes to remote printers.

          

• LoadAllJobs() was looking for job-sheets-completed
          instead of job-media-sheets-completed.  This would
          prevent accumulation of page data after a restart
          of the scheduler.

          

• The pstops and imagetops filters now generate copies
          using the appropriate method for a Level 1, 2, or 3
          printer since some Level 2/3 printers don't support
          the /#copies variable anymore.

          

• The man page for cups-lpd did not mention the "-o"
          option.

          

• The IPP backend didn't handle version-not-supported
          errors and revert to IPP/1.0 (previously it only checked
          for a bad-request error)

          

• Caldera fix: lpc now reports unimplemented commands as
          unimplemented, not invalid.

          

• Caldera fix: lpq didn't recognize BSD lpq "-a" option.

          

• Caldera fix: lpr didn't recognize BSD lpr "-1", "-2",
          "-3", "-4", "-q", or "-U" options.

          

• RedHat fixes: patches to GNU Ghostscript

          

• SuSE fix: temp file creation patch to GNU Ghostscript
          (pstoraster).

          

• SuSE fix: remove cgi-bin/abort.c and cgi-bin/email.c,
          which are not used.

          

• SuSE fix: missing NULL check in cgi_initialize_post().

          

• SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
          cgi_initialize_string().

          

• SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in
          ippSetCGIVars()

          

• SuSE fix: more NULL checks in ppdOpen(); also make
          sure that all memory is freed on error to avoid memory
          leaks.

          

• SuSE fix: Exit from child if setgid() or setuid()
          fails.

          

• SuSE fix: Added setgroups() calls after setgid() and
          setuid() calls.

          

• SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpEncode64()
          calls.

          

• SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in httpSeparate()

          

• SuSE fix: potential buffer overflows in ippWrite() for
          bad input.

          

• SuSE fix: potential nul skip in ppd_decode() for
          missing hex digits.
