Solution / Fix

HP OpenMail Vulnerability

Solution:
Ref: [OpenMail Technical Guide, pages 3-366, and 3-369]

Hewlett-Packard notes that this issue has already been adequately addressed in OpenMail. There is a general parameter setting (UAL_PRINT_SERVER_ONLY) in the general.cfg file, that, if set to TRUE, forces all server printing to go through OpenMail's print server. The general customization file general.cfg is located in /var/opt/openmail/sys, as is the print server's configuration file print.cfg. On the client all that is necessary is to then change the 'Printer Server Command' to point to one of the configured printers.

OpenMail's print server uses a configuration file to configure available printers, and validates each print request against its configured printers. Any print requests that do not match the required syntax will not be executed.

More information about OpenMail's print server and how to configure it can be found in the OpenMail Technical Guide (pages 3-366 to 3-369 for the GR5 edition)
