Description

cups.i686 1:1.4.8-3.oc00

With my standard lang setting de_DE_EURO cupsd gives strange characters for unknown options. I guess this is a cosmetic problem only. But if this strange characters are produced by some buffer overflow it maybe worth to check.

{0}[p:\usr\sbin] cupsd -?
cupsd: unbekannte Option ÔÇ×?ÔÇ£ ÔÇô abbrechen!
Usage: cupsd [-c config-file] [-f] [-F] [-h] [-l]

-c config-file      Load alternate configuration file
-f                  Run in the foreground
-F                  Run in the foreground but detach
-h                  Show this usage message
-l                  Run cupsd from launchd(8)

{1}[p:\usr\sbin] set lang=

{0}[p:\usr\sbin] cupsd -?
cupsd: Unknown option "?" - aborting!
Usage: cupsd [-c config-file] [-f] [-F] [-h] [-l]

-c config-file      Load alternate configuration file
-f                  Run in the foreground
-F                  Run in the foreground but detach
-h                  Show this usage message
-l                  Run cupsd from launchd(8)
