Descriptions

Directory traversal vulnerability in the PreBoot service in Novell ZENworks Configuration Management (ZCM) 11.2 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in a preboot update pathname, aka ZDI-CAN-1595.

Vulnerabilidad de salto de directorio en el servicio de prearranque en Novell ZENworks Configuration Management (ZCM) 11.2 permite a atacantes remotos leer archivos arbitrarios a través de un .. (punto punto) en un nombre de ruta de actualización del prearranque, también conocido como ZDI-CAN-1595.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Novell ZENworks Configuration Manager. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the Preboot Service (novell-pbserv.exe) which listens for incoming connections on TCP port 998. The service supports an opcode that allows for files to be downloaded through the use of directory traversal. By abusing this behavior an attacker can disclose administrative credentials and possibly leverage this situation to achieve remote code execution.
