Product Link: http://www.novell.com/products/openenterpriseserver/iprint.html ====================================================================== 4) Description of Vulnerability 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 either "GetPrinterURLList()", "GetPrinterURLList2()", or "GetFileList2()" as provided by the Novell iPrint ActiveX control (ienipp.ocx). Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code. ====================================================================== 5) Solution Update to version 4.38 or 5.08. ====================================================================== 6) Time Table 25/08/2008 - Vendor notified. 26/08/2008 - Vendor response. 03/09/2008 - Public disclosure. ====================================================================== 7) Credits Discovered by Carsten Eiram, Secunia Research. ====================================================================== 8) References The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned CVE-2008-2436 for the vulnerability. ====================================================================== 9) About Secunia Secunia offers vulnerability management solutions to corporate customers with verified and reliable vulnerability intelligence relevant to their specific system configuration: http://corporate.secunia.com/ Secunia also provides a publicly accessible and comprehensive advisory database as a service to the security community and private individuals, who are interested in or concerned about IT-security. http://secunia.com/ Secunia believes that it is important to support the community and to do active vulnerability research in order to aid improving the security and reliability of software in general: http://corporate.secunia.com/secunia_research/33/ Secunia regularly hires new skilled team members.
