Vulnerability from csaf_redhat - Published: 2002-06-10 20:29 - Updated: 2025-11-21 17:24Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: : Relaxed LPRng job submission policy
Severity
Important
Notes
Topic: The LPRng print spooler, as shipped in Red Hat Linux 7.x, accepts all
remote print jobs by default.
Details: With its default configuration, LPRng will accept job submissions from
any host, which is not appropriate in a workstation environment. We
are grateful to Matthew Caron for pointing out this configuration
problem.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
assigned the name CAN-2002-0378 to this issue.
The updated packages from this advisory change the job submission
policy (in /etc/lpd.perms) so that jobs from remote hosts are refused
by default.
Those running print servers may want to adjust this policy as
appropriate, for example to give access to certain hosts or subnets.
For details on how to do this see the lpd.perms(5) man page.
Since Red Hat Linux 7.1, default installations include ipchains rules
blocking remote access to the print spooler IP port; as a result those
installations already reject remote job submissions. However, Red Hat
Linux 7 machines and any machine upgraded to a later release (as
opposed to
having been freshly installed) will not have ipchains rules in place
by default.
IMPORTANT: There are special instructions for installing this update at
the end of the "Solution" section below.

The default configuration of LPRng print spooler in Red Hat Linux 7.0 through 7.3, Mandrake 8.1 and 8.2, and other operating systems, accepts print jobs from arbitrary remote hosts.

Vulnerability from csaf_redhat - Published: 2002-06-10 20:29 - Updated: 2024-11-21 22:22Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: : Relaxed LPRng job submission policy
Severity
Important
Notes
Topic: The LPRng print spooler, as shipped in Red Hat Linux 7.x, accepts all
remote print jobs by default.
Details: With its default configuration, LPRng will accept job submissions from
any host, which is not appropriate in a workstation environment. We
are grateful to Matthew Caron for pointing out this configuration
problem.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
assigned the name CAN-2002-0378 to this issue.
The updated packages from this advisory change the job submission
policy (in /etc/lpd.perms) so that jobs from remote hosts are refused
by default.
Those running print servers may want to adjust this policy as
appropriate, for example to give access to certain hosts or subnets.
For details on how to do this see the lpd.perms(5) man page.
Since Red Hat Linux 7.1, default installations include ipchains rules
blocking remote access to the print spooler IP port; as a result those
installations already reject remote job submissions. However, Red Hat
Linux 7 machines and any machine upgraded to a later release (as
opposed to
having been freshly installed) will not have ipchains rules in place
by default.
IMPORTANT: There are special instructions for installing this update at
the end of the "Solution" section below.

The default configuration of LPRng print spooler in Red Hat Linux 7.0 through 7.3, Mandrake 8.1 and 8.2, and other operating systems, accepts print jobs from arbitrary remote hosts.

Vulnerability from csaf_redhat - Published: 2003-07-14 16:12 - Updated: 2025-11-21 17:26Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: : : : Updated LPRng packages fix psbanner vulnerability
Severity
Important
Notes
Topic: Updated LPRng packages for Red Hat Linux on IBM iSeries and pSeries systems
resolve a temporary file vulnerability and an insecure default.
Details: LPRng is a print spooler.
LPRng includes a program, psbanner, that can be used to produce Postscript
banner pages to separate print jobs. A vulnerability has been found in
psbanner, which creates a temporary file with a known filename in an
insecure manner. An attacker could create a symbolic link and cause
arbitrary files to be written as the 'lp' user. The Common Vulnerabilities
and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2003-0136
to this issue.
Note: psbanner is not used by the default Red Hat Linux LPRng configuration.
With its default configuration, LPRng accepts job submissions from any
host, which is not appropriate in a workstation environment. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name
CAN-2002-0378 to this issue.
The updated packages from this advisory change the job submission
policy (in /etc/lpd.perms) so that jobs from remote hosts are refused
by default and contain a patch so that psbanner does not create
the temporary file.
Those sites running print servers may want to adjust this policy as
appropriate; for example, to give access to certain hosts or subnets.
Refer to the lpd.perms(5) man page for details.
Note: Default installations of Red Hat Linux 7.1 include ipchains rules
blocking remote access to the print spooler IP port; as a result default
installations already reject remote job submissions.
IMPORTANT: There are special instructions for installing this update at
the end of the "Solution" section.

RHSA-2003_225
Vulnerability from csaf_redhat - Published: 2003-07-14 16:12 - Updated: 2024-11-21 22:44Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: : : : Updated LPRng packages fix psbanner vulnerability
Severity
Important
Notes
Topic: Updated LPRng packages for Red Hat Linux on IBM iSeries and pSeries systems
resolve a temporary file vulnerability and an insecure default.
Details: LPRng is a print spooler.
LPRng includes a program, psbanner, that can be used to produce Postscript
banner pages to separate print jobs. A vulnerability has been found in
psbanner, which creates a temporary file with a known filename in an
insecure manner. An attacker could create a symbolic link and cause
arbitrary files to be written as the 'lp' user. The Common Vulnerabilities
and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2003-0136
to this issue.
Note: psbanner is not used by the default Red Hat Linux LPRng configuration.
With its default configuration, LPRng accepts job submissions from any
host, which is not appropriate in a workstation environment. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name
CAN-2002-0378 to this issue.
The updated packages from this advisory change the job submission
policy (in /etc/lpd.perms) so that jobs from remote hosts are refused
by default and contain a patch so that psbanner does not create
the temporary file.
Those sites running print servers may want to adjust this policy as
appropriate; for example, to give access to certain hosts or subnets.
Refer to the lpd.perms(5) man page for details.
Note: Default installations of Red Hat Linux 7.1 include ipchains rules
blocking remote access to the print spooler IP port; as a result default
installations already reject remote job submissions.
IMPORTANT: There are special instructions for installing this update at
the end of the "Solution" section.

The default configuration of LPRng print spooler in Red Hat Linux 7.0 through 7.3, Mandrake 8.1 and 8.2, and other operating systems, accepts print jobs from arbitrary remote hosts.
