Discussion

Novell ZENworks Configuration Management Preboot Service Stack Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Novell ZENworks Configuration Management is prone to a stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to perform adequate boundary-checks on user-supplied data.

An attacker can leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM-level privileges. Successful exploits will compromise the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.
