CVE-2011-4185: The GetPrinterURLList2 method in the ActiveX control in Novell iPrint Client before 5.78 on Windows allows...

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Windows client-side vulnerability in Novell iPrint Client before 5.78. A malicious remote trigger could corrupt memory through an iPrint ActiveX method, potentially causing code execution or a crash. The business risk depends on whether legacy Windows endpoints still have this client and ActiveX-capable browser exposure. Exposure is most likely on legacy Windows systems with Novell iPrint Client older than 5.78 installed, especially where ActiveX controls can still run. Environments without Novell iPrint Client, without Windows endpoints, or without ActiveX-capable browser paths are less likely to be affected. Prioritize discovery first. This is a legacy client-side issue with potentially severe impact but incomplete current evidence. If the organization still uses Novell iPrint Client on Windows, remediation should be scheduled promptly, especially for systems that can browse untrusted content. Mitigation focus: Inventory Windows endpoints for Novell iPrint Client installations.; Upgrade affected clients to version 5.78 or later where vendor guidance supports it.; Remove the iPrint Client where it is no longer operationally required..
