This Metasploit module exploits a format string vulnerability in the LPRng print server. This vulnerability was discovered by Chris Evans. There was a publicly circulating worm targeting this vulnerability, which prompted RedHat to pull their 7.0 release. They consequently re-released it as "7.0-respin".

HRM!
The following causes info leakage!
bash$ ( ruby -e 'puts "\x09" + ("%x" * 50) + "\n"'; cat) | nc 192.168.0.120 515 | hexdump -vC
There are various other ways to trigger the vulnerability. LPD uses the single-byte commands
0x01 -> 0x09...
It's unclear if there is a way to auto-detect the lpd version via LPD commands.
