Novell File Reporter NFRAgent.exe VOL Element Tag Parsing Remote Overflow

High

Synopsis

Novell File Reporter is prone to an overflow condition. The NFRAgent.exe file fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input when parsing tags in a VOL element resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow. With a specially crafted tag, a context-dependent attacker can potentially execute arbitrary code.
