How do you think the Attachmate deal will turn out for "Novell" Well, the marketing can't be any WORSE Better, the product/support commitment is there Worse, MS will end up with what is left of Novell’s marketshare & still end up with the patents, leaving the customer as the loser Results 86 votes \| 0 comments

DISCUSS ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/40863/#comments

DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in Novell Open Enterprise Server,
which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable
system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the
"/opt/novell/iprint/bin/ipsmd" component in the processing of LPR
opcode 0x01 packet types. This can be exploited to cause a
stack-based buffer overflow by sending specially crafted packets to
an affected system.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

SOLUTION:
Restrict access to the affected service.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Francis Provencher, reported via ZDI
