PrintNightmare is a critical security vulnerability affecting the Microsoft Windows operating system. [2] [5] The vulnerability occurred within the print spooler service. [6] [7] There were two variants, one permitting remote code execution (CVE-2021-34527), and the other leading to privilege escalation (CVE-2021-1675).
GooseEgg is the name used by Microsoft to describe an exploit tool used by the Russian hacking group Forest Blizzard (also known as Fancy Bear and other names) to exploit CVE-2022-38028, a software vulnerability in Microsoft Windows. [1] The vulnerability is a flaw in the Windows print spooler that grants high privilege access to an attacker. [2]
Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 introduce print driver isolation, which improves the reliability of the print spooler by running printer drivers in a separate process to the spooler service. If a third party print driver fails while isolated, it does not impact other drivers or the print spooler service.
EDIT is a full-screen text editor, included with MS-DOS versions 5 and 6, [1] OS/2 and Windows NT to 4.0 The corresponding program in Windows 95 and later, and Windows 2000 and later is Edit v2.0. PC DOS 6 and later use the DOS E Editor and DR-DOS used editor up to version 7.
A computer running CUPS is a host that can accept print jobs from client computers, process them, and send them to the appropriate printer. Printer drivers are typically implemented as filters . They are usually named the front end of the printing system, while the printer spoolers constitute the back end .
The XPS spooler format is the intended replacement for the Enhanced Metafile (EMF) format which is the print spooler format in the Graphics Device Interface (GDI) print path. [22] XPS is an XML -based (more specifically XAML -based) color-managed device and resolution independent vector-based paged document format which encapsulates an exact ...
A dedicated program, the spooler, maintains an orderly sequence of jobs for the peripheral and feeds it data at its own rate. Conversely, for slow input peripherals, such as a card reader , a spooler can maintain a sequence of computational jobs waiting for data, starting each job when all of the relevant input is available; see batch processing .
A computer running CUPS is a host that can accept print jobs from client computers, process them, and send them to the appropriate printer. CUPS consists of a print spooler and scheduler, a filter system that converts the print data to a format that the printer will understand, and a backend system that sends this data to the print device.
