Descriptions

Remote attackers can use the iPrint web-browser ActiveX plugin in Novell iPrint Client before 5.42 for Windows XP/Vista/Win7 to execute code by overflowing the "name" parameter.

Atacantes remotos puede utilizar el plugin ActiveX del navegador web de iPrint en Novell iPrint Client en versiones anteriores a 5.42 para Windows XP/Vista/Win7 para ejecutar código desbordando el parámetro "name".

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of the Novell iPrint Client browser plugin. User interaction is required in that a target must visit a malicious web page.
The specific flaw exists within handling plugin parameters. The application does not properly verify the name of parameters passed via <embed> tags. If a malicious attacker provides a long enough value a destination buffer can be overflowed. Successful exploitation leads to execution of arbitrary code under the context of the user owning the browser process.
