Vulnerability Information

Severity: High
Vulnerability Published: N/A
Patch Published: 2008-02-15
CVE [?]: CVE-2008-0935
CPE [?]: cpe:/a:novell:iprint

Synopsis

The remote Windows host has an ActiveX control that is affected by a buffer overflow vulnerability.

Description

The remote host contains the iPrint Control ActiveX control distributed with Novell iPrint Client.

The installed version of that control reportedly contains a buffer overflow that can be triggered by passing an argument longer than 256 bytes to the 'ExecuteRequest' method. If a remote attacker can trick a user on the affected host into visiting a specially crafted web page, this issue could be leveraged to execute arbitrary code on the affected host subject to the user's privileges.

Solution

Upgrade to Novell iPrint Client for Windows 4.34 or later and ensure the control has a file version of 4.3.4.0 or higher.
