VULHUB ™

FreeBSD Security Advisory FreeBSD-SA-01:58 - Users on the local machine or on remote systems which are allowed to access the local line printer daemon may be able to cause a buffer overflow. Submitting a specially-crafted incomplete print job and subsequently requesting a display of the printer queue, a static buffer overflow may be triggered, causing arbitrary code to be executed on the machine as root. In order to remotely exploit this vulnerability, the remote machine must be given access to the local printer daemon via a hostname entry in /etc/hosts.lpd or /etc/hosts.equiv. lpd is not enabled on FreeBSD by default.
