Who is Vulnerable?
Vulnerability Description The Novell NetIdentity agent works with eDirectory authentication to provide background authentication to Windows Web-based applications that require eDirectory authentication, such as iPrint, Novell Portal Services, eGuide, Novell NetIdentity, ZENworks, NetStorage, and iManager. NetIdentity provides a secure identity wallet on the workstation so that applications that require eDirectory authentication can access these credentials and bypass asking users for their usernames and passwords. A code execution vulnerability exists in Novell Client NetIdentity Agent. The flaw is due to insufficient sanity check when processing crafted RPC messages. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted RPC message to the affected service. In an attack case where code injection is successful, the behavior of the target is entirely dependent on theintended function of the injected code. The injected code in such a case would execute within the security contextof the System user. In an attack case where code injection is not successful, the application might terminate abnormally creating a denial of service condition.
