CVE-2006-2496 – Novell eDirectory 8.8 NDS Server Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2006-2496

Buffer overflow in iMonitor 2.4 in Novell eDirectory 8.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown attack vectors. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Novell eDirectory. Exploitation does not require authentication. The specific flaw exists within the iMonitor NDS Server, which by default exposes an HTTP interface on TCP port 8028 and an HTTPS interface on TCP port 8030. During the parsing of long URIs to the 'nds' path a trivially exploitable stack-based buffer overflow occurs. • http://secunia.com/advisories/20139 http://securitytracker.com/id?1016120 http://support.novell.com/cgi-bin/search/searchtid.cgi?/2973759.htm http://www.osvdb.org/25781 http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/434723/100/0/threaded http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/18026 http://www.vupen.com/english/advisories/2006/1850 http://www.zerodayinitiative.com/advisories/ZDI-06-016.html https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/26524 •
