Descriptions

Stack-based buffer overflow in the nim: protocol handler in Novell GroupWise Messenger 2.04 and earlier, and Novell Messenger 2.1.x and 2.2.x before 2.2.2, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an import command containing a long string in the filename parameter.

Desbordamiento de búfer basado en pila en el nim: protocolo de manejo en Novell GroupWise Messenger v2.04 y anteriores, y Novell Messenger v2.1.x y v2.2.2, que permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario a través de un comando de importación que contiene una cadena larga en el parámetro de nombre de archivo.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Novell Groupwise Messenger. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the handling of specific commands passed to the messenger via the nim:// protocol handler. By crafting a page with a large filename parameter within an import command, a stack-based buffer overflow can be made to occur. This can be exploited by an attacker to execute remote code under the context of the Administrator account.
