Description
This exploit abuses an unpublished vulnerability in the
HP-UX LPD service. This flaw allows an unauthenticated
attacker to execute arbitrary commands with the privileges
of the root user. The LPD service is only exploitable when
the address of the attacking system can be resolved by the
target. This vulnerability was silently patched with the
buffer overflow flaws addressed in HP Security Bulletin
HPSBUX0208-213.
