Title: LPPlus Permissions DoS Vulnerabilities
Severity: LOW
Description:
Vulnerability #1: Several files that are part of the LPPlus print management system are installed setuid root by default. These files include:
$LPHOME/bin/dccsched
$LPHOME/bin/dcclpdser
$LPHOME/bin/dccbkst
These start the scheduler, LPD server and network status daemons.
$LPHOME/bin/dccshut
$LPHOME/bin/dcclpdshut
$LPHOME/bin/dccbkstshut
These stop the same services.
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.
Vulnerability #2: $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.
