Description

IRIX contains a flaw that may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands. The problem is that the 'lpsched' binary does not validate user-supplied input. By passing shell metacharacters to the binary, it is possible for a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands resulting in a loss of integrity.
