Description

This module uses a vulnerability in the Solaris line printer
daemon to delete arbitrary files on an affected system. This
can be used to exploit the rpc.walld format string flaw, the
missing krb5.conf authentication bypass, or simply delete
system files. Tested on Solaris 2.6, 7, 8, 9, and 10.
