Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been discovered in Xlpd, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
1) A boundary error in the processing of LPD requests can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly large packet sent to the LPD port (TCP port 515 by default).
2) An integer underflow error in the processing of LPD requests can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted packet sent to the LPD port (TCP port 515 by default).
Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities allows execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 3.0 build 0076. Other versions may also be affected.
