Loading vulnerability…
Multiple buffer overflow vulnerabilities exist in the lp subsystem of HP-UX versions 10.20 through 11.11 (11i). These vulnerabilities can be exploited by local users to cause a denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges. The vulnerable code is within the lp printing subsystem, which handles print jobs and related operations.

This repository contains a single Metasploit exploit module targeting an unpublished vulnerability in the HP-UX LPD (Line Printer Daemon) service. The exploit allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root by sending a specially crafted print job request to the LPD service, typically running on TCP port 515. The module is written in Ruby and leverages the Metasploit framework's remote TCP exploitation capabilities. The exploit is operational, providing a command execution payload that can be customized by the user. The vulnerability is referenced as CVE-2002-1473 and was silently patched in HP Security Bulletin HPSBUX0208-213. The code is structured as a standard Metasploit module, with all logic contained in a single file. No hardcoded IP addresses, URLs, or file paths are present, but the exploit targets the LPD service on the default port 515.
