| Detailed Description |
The Novell Client software has a buffer overflow vulnerability in the 'dprpcw32.dll' library. Novell Client for Windows is vulnerable to a buffer overflow attack, caused by improper bounds checking in the ndps_xdr_array() function in the Novell Distributed Print Services (NDPS) DPRPC library (dprpcw32.dll). By sending a specially-crafted request to a system running NDPS, iPrint, or iManager using the iPrint plugins, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitraty code on the affected system or cause the system to crash.
* Note: This check requires an account with administrative privileges which can log into the host to scan. Absence of these condition will result in the check not being performed and a False Negative for all vulnerable hosts.
