Loading vulnerability…
A stack-based buffer overflow exists in Novell iPrint Client versions prior to 5.44. The vulnerability is triggered when a remote attacker sends a specially crafted op-client-interface-version action containing an excessively long call-back-url parameter, leading to a buffer overflow on the stack.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (novelliprint_callbackurl.rb) that exploits a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2010-1527) in the Novell iPrint Client ActiveX control (ienipp.ocx) versions 5.40 and 5.42. The exploit targets users running Internet Explorer 6 or 7 on Windows XP SP3 or Windows Vista SP2. The module sets up a malicious HTTP server that serves a crafted HTML page containing JavaScript and an <object> tag referencing the vulnerable ActiveX control. By supplying an overly long string to the 'call-back-url' parameter, the exploit triggers a buffer overflow, allowing arbitrary code execution (Metasploit payload) on the victim's machine. The exploit is fully weaponized, leveraging Metasploit's payload system for customizable post-exploitation actions. The main fingerprintable endpoints are the CLSID of the vulnerable control and the ienipp.ocx file. The repository is structured as a single Ruby file compatible with the Metasploit Framework.
