Description:
Ryan Smith and Alex Wheeler have reported a vulnerability in Novell Distributed Print Service (DPS), which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to an integer overflow error within the variable-length array decoding code in the RPC-based protocol library. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow and may allow arbitrary code execution.

The vulnerability has been reported in the following products:
* Novell Distributed Print Services (NDPS).
* Novell Novell Open Enterprise Server (NetWare based)
* Novell Client versions 4.83 SP3, 4.90 SP2, and 4.91 SP2 for Windows 2000/XP/2003.
