Description

This module exploits a format string vulnerability in the LPRng print server.
This vulnerability was discovered by Chris Evans. There was a publicly
circulating worm targeting this vulnerability, which prompted RedHat to pull
their 7.0 release. They consequently re-released it as "7.0-respin".
