A security hole has been found in the version of lpr shipped
with Mandrake 6.1 that could allow users to print files for which
they don’t have read permissions.

Please upgrade to:

2078ba99d21f81bcd328a478424a51a8  lpr-0.43-1mdk.i586.rpm
fab2deed508d22659e359c6fb6c861f9  lpr-0.43-1mdk.src.rpm

from our mirrors.
