APP: Apple Filing Protocol Malformed DSI Request
This signature detects malformed Apple Filing Protocol requests. Certain products, such as Novell Netware, are vulnerable to such requests. Successful attacks could result in a denial-of-service condition or possibly remote code execution.

A remote attacker can exploit these issues to consume an excessive amount of resources or to crash the affected computer, denying service to legitimate users. NetWare 6.5 SP8 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
Affected Products
- Novell Netware 6.5.0 SP8
