Solaris 7 lpset -r Option Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
A vulnerability exists in the handling of the -r option to the lpset program, as included in Solaris 7 from Sun Microsystems. The -r option is undocumented. As such, its use in unknown. However, when supplied a well crafted buffer containing executable code, it is possible to execute arbitrary commands as root.
Mitigation:
Ensure that the -r option is not used in lpset, and that the program is not installed on the system.
