VectorAV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Solaris versions 8 and earlier
Description The issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a job request with a crafted control file that is not properly handled when the lpd daemon invokes a mail program.
Recommendations For Solaris versions 8 and earlier, consider disabling the lpd daemon until a patch is available. Restrict access to the lpd daemon to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the lpd daemon for handling job requests from untrusted sources until the issue is resolved.
