Vulnerability Assessment Summary
Check for the version of the cups package

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2001:048 (cups).

The version of cups shipped with Linux-Mandrake 8.0 has a problem where when a
user prints a multi-page PostScript file with embedded pictures, the pages
following the first with the picture are all printed on the same page, one on
top of the other. From multi-page Abiword files (only text) only the last page
is printed. This update resolves this bug. As well, the upstream 1.1.7 release
of cups fixes some security issues.
