This signature detects attempts to exploit a known stack buffer overflow vulnerability in Novell Netware FTP Server. It is due to insufficient bound checking on a user-supplied buffer length value in a DELE Command. A successful attack can lead to a buffer overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the user.
Novell Netware is prone to a remote stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data. Attackers can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges. Failed attacks may cause a denial-of-service condition.
