discovered a format string vulnerability in rlpr, a utility for lpd printing without using /etc/printcap. While investigating this vulnerability, a buffer overflow was also discovered in related code.
By exploiting one of these vulnerabilities, a local or remote user could potentially cause arbitrary code to be executed with the privileges of 1) the rlprd process (remote), or 2) root (local).
