HTTP:Novell GroupWise mailto URI Handler Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in the Novell GroupWise URI Handler. A successful attack can lead to a buffer overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the server.
Extended Description
Novell GroupWise is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data. Successfully exploiting this issue will allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition. This issue affects GroupWise 7.0; other versions may also be affected. UPDATE (April 30, 2008): A report indicates that this issue cannot be reproduced. We will update this BID as more information emerges.
