How do you think the Attachmate deal will turn out for "Novell" Well, the marketing can't be any WORSE Better, the product/support commitment is there Worse, MS will end up with what is left of Novell’s marketshare & still end up with the patents, leaving the customer as the loser Results 86 votes \| 0 comments

DESCRIPTION:
A security issue has been reported in Novell ZENworks Server and
Desktop Management, which can be exploited by malicious people to
bypass certain security restrictions.

The problem is that a user, who has access to a managed device, is
able to authenticate into a remote session on another managed device
when both managed devices are configured with the same Remote
Management password (e.g. when a common password has been distributed
via NAL or TED).

SOLUTION:
The vendor recommends disabling password mode of authentication in
the Remote Management policy (disabled by default). Alternatively,
the vendor suggests to only distribute a common password via NAL or
TED in trusted environments.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
The vendor credits TippingPoint ZDI.
