Red Hat advisory reveals critical LPRng print spooler vulnerability allowing unauthorized access. Update recommended.
The LPRng print spooler, as shipped in Red Hat Linux 7.x, accepts allremote print jobs by default.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filenames]

where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the desired RPMs.

Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

up2date

This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system.

After upgrading, you should check that the new configuration file is activated. To do this, type the following command:

grep "X NOT SERVER" /etc/lpd.perms

If this commad returns no output, you will need to put the new configuration file in place by typing:

mv /etc/lpd.perms.rpmnew /etc/lpd.perms
