I noticed that in CUPS1.1.23, when I connect to the server using
# nc 10.10.220.231 631
POST /printers/printer/ HTTP/1.1
Content-Length:
\n
\n
--------------------------------
It's clear from the source code that, it waits for 2147483647 Number of Bytes !!!!! This may result in possible DOS.
Regarding this issue, I got no info on the forums!
So please, can someone tell why is this issue not handled ..
is this a feature? if yes how ??
Thanks
Rahul
