CVE-2007-5381: Stack-based buffer overflow in the Line Printer Daemon (LPD) in Cisco IOS before 12.2(18)SXF11, 12.4(16a),...

Stack-based buffer overflow in the Line Printer Daemon (LPD) in Cisco IOS before 12.2(18)SXF11, 12.4(16a), and 12.4(2)T6 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by setting a long hostname on the target system, then causing an error message to be printed, as demonstrated by a telnet session to the LPD from a source port other than 515.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Cisco IOS flaw in the Line Printer Daemon service. A remote attacker could trigger a stack buffer overflow and potentially run code on affected network equipment. The source bundle names fixed IOS releases, but does not provide CVSS, affected CPEs, or evidence of current exploitation. Exposure is likely limited to legacy Cisco IOS devices running affected versions with LPD reachable. Modern, upgraded, or decommissioned devices should not be affected based on the named fixed releases. The bundle does not identify specific models or CPEs. Treat as a high-priority legacy network-device risk where affected IOS and reachable LPD still exist. Prioritize internet-facing, partner-facing, and untrusted-segment devices first. If no such devices remain, urgency drops to inventory confirmation. Mitigation focus: Upgrade to a Cisco IOS fixed release named in the advisory or later.; Review Cisco’s advisory for train-specific applicability and replacement releases.; Inventory Cisco IOS devices for legacy LPD exposure..
