Novell eDirectory NDS Server Host Header Overflow
The Novell eDirectory server iMonitor is prone to a stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform sufficient bounds checking on client-supplied data before copying it to a buffer. An attacker could leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code with administrative privileges. A successful exploit could result in the complete compromise of the affected system.
Mitigation:
Ensure that the Novell eDirectory server is up to date with the latest patches and security updates.
