Advisory Content (Page 1 of 3)[ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ]

Description:
Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in Novell iPrint Client, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the "IppCreateServerRef()" function in nipplib.dll. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow by passing an overly long, specially crafted string as argument to certain methods provided by the Novell iPrint ActiveX control (ienipp.ocx).

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in versions 4.36, 5.04, and 5.06. Other versions may also be affected.
