A stack-based buffer overflow exists in the Novell iPrint Control ActiveX control (ienipp.ocx) in Novell iPrint Client versions prior to 4.34. The vulnerability is triggered when a remote attacker provides a long argument to the ExecuteRequest method, resulting in a buffer overflow condition. This allows for the execution of arbitrary code in the context of the user running the vulnerable ActiveX control, typically via a malicious web page.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting a stack buffer overflow vulnerability in the Novell iPrint Client 4.26 ActiveX control (ienipp.ocx), specifically in the ExecuteRequest() method. The exploit is delivered via a malicious HTML page served by the attacker's HTTP server, which uses JavaScript to perform a heap spray and trigger the overflow when the victim visits the page using Internet Explorer (versions 6 or 7) on Windows XP (SP0-SP2) or Windows Vista. The module allows for customizable payloads, enabling arbitrary code execution on the victim's machine. The main fingerprintable endpoint is the vulnerable ActiveX control identified by its CLSID. The exploit is operational and part of the Metasploit framework, making it easy to use and adapt for different payloads.
