A flaw in Novell's remote server management tool could cause servers to crash, security consultants have warned.
Novell's web-based interface for managing the server has a buffer overflow security vulnerability that could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code.

Consultants Jonas Landin and Patrik Karlsson, of security firm IXSecurity, found the flaw in NetWare 6 Remote Manager and reported it to Novell. They said that NetWare 5.1 and 6 are vulnerable to the buffer overflow that could affect server operation.

This doesn’t surprise me Novell has kind of gone down hill the last 2 years.
