    -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
    
    A bugtraq posting on July 9, 2003 mentions a
    vulnerability in pcltotiff on HP-UX 10.XX.
    This is the subject of the security bulletin
    HPSBUX0104-149.  The main points are:
    
    PROBLEM:   /opt/sharedprint/bin/pcltotiff has unsafe permissions.
    
    PLATFORM:  HP9000 Series 700/800 running HP-UX releases 10.01,
               10.10, 10.20, and 10.26.
    
    
       A. Background
    
          /opt/sharedprint/bin/pcltotiff is in group bin with set group
          id permissions.  This is necessary to allow pcltotiff to read
          files in /usr/lib/X11/fonts/ifo.st/typefaces/.
    
       B. Fixing the problem
    
          Remove the set group id permissions from pcltotiff and
          allow read access to /usr/lib/X11/fonts/ifo.st/typefaces/.
    
       C. Recommended solution
    
          /sbin/chmod 555 /opt/sharedprint/bin/pcltotiff
          /sbin/chmod o+r /usr/lib/X11/fonts/ifo.st/typefaces/
