CHANGE> [Cox changed vote from REVIEWING to MODIFY] Cox> LPRng does not contain anything called runlpr, and in fact if you look at the packages SuSE say that they ship as part of the erratum they don't even provide updated LPRng packages. However they do ship lprfilter packages and looking inside them I find that they are what contain this runlpr program: http://at.rpmfind.net/opsys/linux/RPM/suse.com/i386/update/8.0/ap1/lpdfilter-0.42-155.i386.html This states that lpdfilter is a collection of scripts written by SuSE, and the changelog even highlights this is where the security fix was made. Therefore I believe that the CVE reference and all the descriptions of this vulnerability, which are based on a bad advisory description from SuSE, are also wrong, it should be: "runlpr from the SuSE lpdfilter package allows the local lp user to gain root privileges via certain command line arguments."
