Vulnerability Information

Severity: Critical
Vulnerability Published: 2012-12-02
Patch Published: 2012-12-02
CVE [?]: CVE-2012-0428, CVE-2012-0429, CVE-2012-0430, CVE-2012-0432
CPE [?]: cpe:/a:novell:edirectory

Synopsis

The remote directory service is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote host is running eDirectory, a directory service software from Novell. The installed version of Novell eDirectory is affected by multiple issues :

- An unspecified cross-site scripting flaw exists. (CVE-2012-0428)

- It is possible to trigger a remote denial of service vulnerability by sending a malformed HTTP request. (CVE-2012-0429) - An unspecified flaw may allow a remote attacker to gain access to administrator cookie information. (CVE-2012-0430)

- There is an unspecified stack-based buffer overflow in the Novell NCP implementation in eDirectory that has unspecified impact. (CVE-2012-0432)

Solution

Upgrade to eDirectory 8.8 SP6 Patch 7 / 8.8 SP7 Patch 2 or later.
