CVE-2001-0670

CVSS v2.0

7.5

High

VectorAV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions lpr version 0.50.5
Description The issue is related to a buffer overflow in the BSD line printer daemon, which can be exploited remotely. This can lead to the execution of arbitrary code via an incomplete print job followed by a request to display the printer queue, potentially disrupting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information.
Recommendations For lpr version 0.50.5, consider disabling the lpd daemon as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to the printer queue to minimize the risk of exploitation.
