MDKA-2006:022: module-init-tools |

Check for the version of the module-init-tools package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKA-2006:022 (module-init-tools). The default configuration of module-init-tools was to send a HUP signal to the CUPS daemon whenever the 'usblp' kernel module is loaded, for example when a USB printer is plugged in. Due to udev also sending a HUP signal to the CUPS daemon on pluggin in a USB printer there were two HUPs one shortly after the other which often makes the CUPS daemon crashing. The updated module-init-tools package removes the usblp call responsible for this bad behaviour.
