Title: Updating NIPrint to resolve security issues

Through recent testing, a few security issues were identified with NIPrint. These are:

   • NIPrint has a remote buffer overflow condition. Sending 60 bytes to the printer port (515) will cause an exploitable overflow in the NIPrint daemon.
   • NIPrint allows local user to become SYSTEM. The NIPrint Help API runs in a non-secure manor.

As of 11/11/03, these product vulnerabilities have been addressed and repaired. A new version of NIPrint is available for immediate download. Please download the latest version of NIPrint from our FTP site.
