Vulnerability discussion

Excessive permissions on the hosts.lpd (or equivalent) file may permit unauthorized modification. Unauthorized modifications could disrupt access to local printers from authorized remote hosts or permit unauthorized remote access to local printers.

Check content

Locate any print service configuration file(s) on the system. HP vendor documentation identifies the following names and locations of print service configuration files on the system that can be checked via the following commands: # ls -lL /var/spool/lp/.rhosts # ls -lL /var/adm/inetd.sec # ls -lL /etc/hosts.equiv If the permissions include a "+", the file has an extended ACL, this is a finding.

Fix text

Remove the optional ACL from the file. # chacl -z

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
