Novell iPrint Client 'ienipp.ocx' ActiveX 'GetDriverSettings()' Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Novell iPrint Client 'ienipp.ocx' ActiveX control is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data.

Successfully exploiting this issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application (typically Internet Explorer) using the ActiveX control. Failed exploit attempts likely result in denial-of-service conditions.

iPrint Client 5.52 is affected; other versions may also be vulnerable.
