It appears that the vulnerable service in question listens on 0.0.0.0 which is concerning, it means attacks from the LAN are vulnerable by default and you have to explicitly block port 631 if the server is exposed to internet. Granted, requires user to print something to trigger which, I mean, I don't think I've printed anything from Linux in my life, but he does claim getting callbacks from 100's of thousands of linux machines which is believable.
