Descriptions

The SOAP interface to the eMBox module in Novell eDirectory 8.7.3.9 and earlier, and 8.8.x before 8.8.2, relies on client-side authentication, which allows remote attackers to bypass authentication via requests for /SOAP URIs, and cause a denial of service (daemon shutdown) or read arbitrary files. NOTE: it was later reported that 8.7.3.10 (aka 8.7.3 SP10) is also affected.

La interfaz SOAP en el módulo eMBox en Novell eDirectory versión 8.7.3.9 y anteriores, y versiones 8.8.x anteriores a 8.8.2, depende de la autenticación del lado del cliente, que permite a los atacantes remotos omitir la autenticación por medio de peticiones para los URI /SOAP y causar una denegación de servicio (apagado del demonio) o leer archivos arbitrarios. NOTA: más tarde se reportó que la versión 8.7.3.10 (también se conoce como versión 8.7.3 SP10) también está afectada.
