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.
