Malformed Print Request May Stop Windows 2000 TCP/IP Printing Service
f h; EN-US;CNTACTMS
t in /ms00-021.asp
The information in this article applies to:
Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional
Microsoft Windows 2000 Server
Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server
Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0
Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
Microsoft Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition 4.0
Microsoft BackOffice Server 4.0
Microsoft Windows NT Server4.0, Terminal Server Edition
Symptoms
After you install the TCP/IP Printing service on a Windows NT 4.0-based computer or the Print Services for UNIX component on a Windows 2000-based computer, it may be possible to exploit a security vulnerability in the Line Printer Daemon (LPD) Server service on those computers. By sending a specially-malformed print request via the LPD Server service, a malicious user could cause the service to stop, preventing the computer from servicing some print requests. Other services may also be affected by stopping this service, including the Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) service. Affected services can be put back in service by restarting them; it is not necessary to reboot the computer.

More Information
The Line Printer Daemon Server service is a feature of the TCP/IP Printing service for Windows NT 4.0 and the Print Services for UNIX component for Windows 2000. Both services provide for integration into UNIX environments. These services are based on the Berkeley Remote Printing protocols commonly called Line Printer Daemon (LPD) and Line Printer Remote (LPR). These are described in RFC 1179.
The native Windows NT and Windows 2000 printing services are not affected by this vulnerability. Although the native Windows NT and Windows 2000 printing services do operate in a TCP/IP environment, they operate with different protocols.
NOTE: The TCP/IP Printing service and Print Services for UNIX are not the same thing as the native Windows NT and Windows 2000 printing services (Spoolss). The TCP/IP Printing service and Print Services for UNIX are not installed by default; this vulnerability does not allow a malicious user to disrupt printing via the native Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 printing services.
