Summary

The remote host is missing an update to html2ps announced via advisory DSA 192-2.

Insight

Insight

The security update from DSA 192-1 contained a syntax error which is now fixed. For completeness we include the text of the old advisory: The SuSE Security Team found a vulnerability in html2ps, a HTML to PostScript converter, that opened files based on unsanitized input insecurely. This problem can be exploited when html2ps is installed as filter within lrpng and the attacker has previously gained access to the lp account. This problem has been fixed in version 1.0b3-1.2 for the current stable distribution (woody), in version 1.0b1-8.2 for the old stable distribution (potato) and in version 1.0b3-3 for the unstable distribution (sid). We recommend that you upgrade your html2ps package.
