PROBLEM:	The Novell iPrint Client ActiveX control contains multiple stack buffer overflows, which can allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system.
PLATFORM:	Novell iPrint
DAMAGE:	Execute arbitrary code.
SOLUTION:	Upgrade to the appropriate version.

VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT:	The risk is MEDIUM. By convincing a user to view a specially crafted HTMl document (e.g., a web page or an HTML email message or attachment), an attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user.

Vulnerability Note VU#858993

Deterministic Network Enhancer privilege escalation vulnerability

Overview

The Deterministic Network driver contains a privilege escalation vulnerability, which can allow a local attacker to execute code with kernel privileges.

Deterministic Networks provides a product called Deterministic Network Enhancer (DNE), which extends the Microsoft Windows networking stack. DNE is packaged with multiple applications, including the Cisco VPN Client. The DNE driver, which is provided by dne2000.sys, is vulnerable to privilege escalation. By making a certain ioctl to the DNE device driver, it is possible to execute code with windows kernel privileges.

II. Impact

A local attacker may be able to execute code with windows kernel privileges.

III. Solution

Apply an update

This issue is addressed in dne2000.sys version 3.21.12.17902. This driver is available from the DNE support page.

Cisco Windows VPN Client users should install version 5.0.03.0530, as specified in Cisco Support document CSCsm25860.

For other products that provide the DNE driver, please check with the vendor for updates.
