Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2011-1699 is a remote code execution flaw in Novell iPrint Client before 5.64. A crafted printer URL could trigger a memory corruption bug in nipplib.dll. Business urgency depends on whether old iPrint clients remain installed, especially on user workstations that open printer links. Exposure is likely limited to environments with legacy Novell iPrint Client installations before version 5.64. The risk is client-side and user-driven if printer URLs are opened or processed. Asset inventories may miss this if the software is bundled with older workstation images. Treat as a focused legacy-software cleanup item. It is high impact if present because code execution is possible, but urgency should be driven by confirmed installations, workstation exposure, and the absence of active-exploitation evidence in the supplied sources. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Novell iPrint Client to 5.64 or later, following Novell guidance.; Remove the iPrint Client where business need no longer exists.; Prioritize legacy workstations and shared desktop images for remediation..
