✦ Synopsis

Researchers at the CERT Coordination

Center said the problems relate to buffer overflow issues that allow remote users to gain root access to servers.

According to CERT, the vulnerabilities, which surround software packages known as Internet Security Scanners, exist in the line printer daemon (ldp), which enables various clients to share printers over a network.
