I. Description Novell iPrint is a software printing solution that allows for printing over the internet. One of the components of iPrint is an ActiveX control, which is provided by the file ienipp.ocx. This ActiveX control contains buffer overflows in multiple initialization parameters. II. Impact By convincing a user to view a specially crafted HTML document (e.g., a web page or an HTML email message or attachment), an attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user. III. Solution Apply an update This issue is addressed in the Novell iPrint Client for Windows 4.36. Please see the Novell Support document 5028061 for more details. Disable the Novell iPrint Client ActiveX control in Internet Explorer The vulnerable ActiveX control can be disabled in Internet Explorer by setting the kill bit for the following CLSID: {36723F97-7AA0-11D4-8919-FF2D71D0D32C} More information about how to set the kill bit is available in Microsoft Support Document 240797. Alternatively, the following text can be saved as a .REG file and imported to set the kill bit for this control: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility\{36723F97-7AA0-11D4-8919-FF2D71D0D32C}] "Compatibility Flags"=dword:00000400 Disable ActiveX Disabling ActiveX controls in the Internet Zone (or any zone used by an attacker) appears to prevent exploitation of this and other ActiveX vulnerabilities.
