 SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:SA29639
VERIFY ADVISORY:http://secunia.com/advisories/29639/
CRITICAL:Less critical
IMPACT:DoS
WHERE:From local network
SOFTWARE:
Novell eDirectory 8.x
http://secunia.com/product/1120/
DESCRIPTION:
Mati Aharoni has discovered a vulnerability in Novell eDirectory,
which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of
Service).
The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the Novell eDirectory
Host Environment service (dhost.exe) when processing HTTP requests.
This can be exploited to e.g. cause the service to consume large
amounts of CPU resources and stop responding to other requests by
sending an overly long, specially crafted HTTP request to default
port 8028/TCP.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 8.8.2. Other versions may
also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Restrict network access to the service.
PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Mati Aharoni
