Title: HP-UX rlpdaemon Escape Character Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
If a user has an hpterm session logged in to an HP-UX that
is running rlpdaemon, it is possible for an attacker to
remotely compromise the active account.
By sending carefully selected packets to the rlpdaemon, an
attacker can force a user's terminal to display a message
that contains escape sequences with embedded commands that
reprogram the soft-keys of the hpterm, allowing for arbitrary
playback and key remapping. The user does not need to have
'mesg y' on for this to happen.
This problem is present in any HP-UX running the current
version of rlpdaemon.
