Binary package hint: system-services
Due to this being a default open port on Ubuntu especially as no
firewall is enabled/configured by default I have included it as a
security vulnerability. (I have seen a hacker spew several hundred
pages of ... well I can't mention what the picture was but needless to
say no firewall rules and a printing service can be entertaining but
none the less a vulnerability).
On Ubuntu 8.10 Beta CUPS printing service is enabled by default. On
Previous versions of Ubuntu there was always a check box to disable the
service in System/Administration/Services (the Services Administration
Tool) but in the 8.10 Beta the Service is missing thus it has to be
stopped from the command prompt and disabled in /etc/init.d manually.
