Vulnerability Details
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on
vulnerable installations of Novell iPrint Client. User interaction is required
to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page
or open a malicious file.
The flaw exists within the nipplib component which is used by both the ActiveX
and Netscape compatible browser plugins as well as the Microsoft Windows
spooler service. When handling certain requests the client-file-name parameter
is improperly copied to a local stack buffer. A remote attacker can exploit
this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of the SYSTEM.
