Descriptions
Heap-based buffer overflow in dhost.exe in Novell eDirectory 8.x before 8.8.3, and 8.7.3 before 8.7.3.10 ftf1, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted Netware Core Protocol opcode 0x24 message that triggers a calculation error that under-allocates a heap buffer.
Desbordamiento de búfer basado en montículo en Novell eDirectory v8.x anteriores a v8.8.3, y v8.7.3 anteriores a v8.7.3.10 ftf1, permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario a través del mensaje manipulado del "opcode" 0x024 en el "Netware Core Protocol", que provoca un error de calculo que desborda el búfer de montículo.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Novell eDirectory Server. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within dhost.exe, the service responsible for directory replication which is bound by default to TCP port 524. Improper parsing within opcode 0x24 via the Netware Core Protocol can result in an arithmetic calculation based on supplied user-input resulting in an under-allocated heap buffer. This fault can be leveraged to result in arbitrary code execution.
