Synopsis

The remote host contains an application that is affected by a buffer overflow vulnerability.

Description

The lpd daemon installed on the remote host appears to be from the Hummingbird Connectivity suite and suffers from a buffer overflow vulnerability. An attacker can crash the daemon by sending commands with overly-long queue names. Additionally, with a specially crafted packet, the attacker can also execute code remotely within the context of the affected service.
