Novell iPrint ActiveX control buffer overflow
| novell-iprint-bo (43085) |  High Risk |
Description:
The Novell iPrint ActiveX control (ienipp.ocx) is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow. By persuading a victim to visit a specially-crafted Web page that passes an overly long string value to the operation, printer-url or target-frame parameter, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system or cause the victim's browser to crash.
