APP: Novell GroupWise WebAccess HTTP Basic Authentication Buffer Overflow
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in Novell Groupwise WebAccess. A successful attack can lead to a buffer overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the server.
Extended Description
Novell Groupwise WebAccess is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized buffer. An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.
