Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Novell iPrint Client versions prior to 5.64
Description
The issue is related to a heap-based buffer overflow in the nipplib.dll component. This can be exploited by remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted
uri parameter in a printer-url.Recommendations
For versions prior to 5.64, update to version 5.64 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the
nipplib.dll component to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the uri parameter in the affected API endpoint until the issue is resolved. Found an issue in the description? Have something to add? Feel free to write us 👾
