Descriptions

Integer overflow in GroupWise Internet Agent (GWIA) in Novell GroupWise 8.0 before Support Pack 3 and 2012 before Support Pack 1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.

Desbordamiento de entero en GroupWise Internet Agent (GWIA) in Novell GroupWise 8.0 before Support Pack 3 and 2012 before Support Pack 1 permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código de su elección a través de vectores no especificados.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Novell Groupwise. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
The flaw exists within the Groupwise Internet Agent component, specifically the optional LDAP server which listens on tcp port 389. When parsing a BER encoded parameter the specified size is used to allocate a destination buffer. A properly encoded BER chunk could cause an integer size value to wrap before buffer allocation. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of the SYSTEM account.
