Description:
Secure Network Operations has reported two vulnerabilities in NIPrint, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges and malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
1) The application invokes the help functionality with SYSTEM privileges when configured to run as a service. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary commands on a system with escalated privileges.
2) A boundary error within the processing of received packets can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow by sending an overly long string (60 bytes) to the LPD service (default port 515/TCP).
Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerabilities are reported in version 4.10. Other versions may also be affected.
