source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/2554/info SCO OpenServer 5.0.6 (and possibly earlier versions) ships with several suid bin executables used in printer administration and related tasks. This includes lpforms, a component used to manage and configure print destinations, devices and printer interface programs. 'lpforms' contains a locally exploitable buffer overflow vulnerability. If a command line parameter argument is of excessive length, a stack overflow condition will occur. An attacker may exploit this vulnerability execute arbitrary code with effective user 'bin' privileges. /opt/K/SCO/Unix/5.0.6Ga/usr/lib/lpforms `perl -e 'print "A" x 7000'` Memory fault - core dumped
