[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#517718: cups: Cups web frontend live lock with HostNameLookups Double and unix domain socket client connection

[Joachim Falk]

Package: cups
Version: 1.3.8-1lenny4.1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch


The cupds server always rejects AF_LOCAL (unix domain sockets)
when HostNameLookups Double is configured in cupsd.conf.
This leads to a livelock with the webfrontend if no
/etc/cups/client.conf is present (debian default).
The patch to fix the problem is attached. It disables
DNS reverse lookups for localhost connections be it
from 127.0.0.1 (IPv4), ::1 (IPv6), or unix domain sockets.
