RPC: RLPR Daemon Format String

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in the RLPR daemon syslog logging function. A successful attacker can send a format string that allows the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the victim's system.

Extended Description

It is reported that rlpr is prone to multiple vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities can allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code in order to gain unauthorized access. The application is affected by a format string vulnerability. This vulnerability presents itself due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data through the 'msg()' function. The 'msg()' function is also affected by a buffer overflow vulnerability. This issue occurs due to insufficient boundary checking and may also be exploited to gain unauthorized access to a vulnerable computer. rlpr versions 2.04 and prior are affected by these issues.
