Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in AIX, NetBSD, IRIX and Solaris (Operating System) (affected version not known). It has been classified as very critical. This affects some unknown functionality of the file in.lpd of the component Line Printer Daemon. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Buffer overflow in the line printer daemon (in.lpd) for Solaris 8 and earlier allows local and remote attackers to gain root privileges via a "transfer job" routine.

The weakness was released 07/21/2001 with X-Force as confirmed advisory (CERT.org). The advisory is shared at cert.org. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2001-0353. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Technical details are known, but no exploit is available. The price for an exploit might be around USD $0-$5k at the moment (estimation calculated on 05/06/2019).

The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 10727 (Solaris in.lpd Transfer Job Routine Remote Buffer Overflow), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Gain a shell remotely and running in the context r.

Applying a patch is able to eliminate this problem.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (6718), Tenable (10727), SecurityFocus (BID 2894†) and Vulnerability Center (SBV-328†). If you want to get the best quality for vulnerability data then you always have to consider VulDB.
