DESCRIPTION:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in Novell iPrint Client, which
can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
1) A boundary error in the handling of the "call-back-url" parameter
value for a "op-client-interface-version" operation where the
"result-type" parameter is set to "url" can be exploited to cause a
stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long "call-back-url"
parameter value.
2) An error in PluginGetDriverFile can be exploited to use data in
uninitialised memory as a pointer.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code when a
user e.g. visits a malicious website.
SOLUTION:
Update to version 5.44.
