LPPlus Print Management System Vulnerabilities
LPPlus Print Management System contains several files that are installed setuid root by default. These files include dccsched, dcclpdser and dccbkst which start the scheduler, LPD server and network status daemons respectively. By default, all six may be run by a user of any privilege level, allowing any user to start and stop printing services, regardless of userid or group. Additionally, the file $LPHOME/system/lpdprocess is created mode 777. This file contains the process ID of the dcclpdser process. If a user replaces the PID in $LPHOME/system/lpdprocess with the PID of a target process, then runs $LPHOME/bin/dcclpdshut, the combination of this file's permissions, and the fact that dcclpdshut is executable by any user, allows any user to send signal 2 (SIGINT) to, thereby shutting down, any process.
