Description

A local buffer overflow exists in Network Instrument's NIPrint V4.10 (and possibly earlier versions). NIPrint v4.10 fails to verify input properly resulting in a buffer overflow, by sending 60 bytes of data to port 515/tcp. This could potentially be exploited to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable system.

Classification

Location: Remote / Network Access
Attack Type: Input Manipulation
Impact: Loss of Integrity
Exploit: Exploit Public, Exploit Commercial

Technical

NIPrint is a printing utility that provides LPD/LPR print services for connecting Unix and Microsoft Windows servers.

Solution

Currently, there are no known upgrades or patches to correct this issue. It is possible to correct the flaw by implementing the following workaround(s):
Restrict access to the LPD service so that only trusted adresses can connect to it. Do not install NIPrint on systems with untrusted users.
