CVE-2008-2431 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Multiple buffer overflows in Novell iPrint Client before 5.06 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by calling the Novell iPrint ActiveX control (aka ienipp.ocx) with (1) a long third argument to the GetDriverFile method; a long first argument to the (2) GetPrinterURLList or (3) GetPrinterURLList2 method; (4) a long argument to the GetFileList method; a long argument to the (5) GetServerVersion, (6) GetResourceList, or (7) DeleteResource method, related to nipplib.dll; a long uploadPath argument to the (8) UploadPrinterDriver or (9) UploadResource method, related to URIs; (10) a long seventh argument to the UploadResource method; a long string in the (11) second, (12) third, or (13) fourth argument to the GetDriverSettings method, related to the IppGetDriverSettings function in nipplib.dll; or (14) a long eighth argument to the UploadResourceToRMS method.. EPSS estimates a 46.33% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
