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 core-package 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 core-package parameter in the affected printer-url until the issue is resolved.
