Descriptions

Use-after-free vulnerability in the NetWare Core Protocol (NCP) feature in Novell eDirectory 8.7.3 SP10 before 8.7.3 SP10 FTF1 and 8.8 SP2 for Windows allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a sequence of "Get NCP Extension Information By Name" requests that cause one thread to operate on memory after it has been freed in another thread, which triggers memory corruption, aka Novell Bug 373852.

Una vulnerabilidad de uso de memoria previamente liberada en la funcionalidad NetWare Core Protocol (NCP) en Novell eDirectory versiones 8.7.3 SP10 anteriores a 8.7.3 SP10 FTF1 y versión 8.8 SP2 para Windows, permite a los atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio y posiblemente ejecutar código arbitrario por medio de una secuencia de peticiones de "Get NCP Extension Information By Name" que causan que un hilo (subproceso) opere en memoria después de que se haya liberado en otro hilo (subproceso), lo que desencadena una corrupción de memoria, también se conoce como Novell Bug 373852.
