| Detailed Description |
The Novell Messenger Messaging Agent is vulnerable to a buffer overflow vulnerability via the 'Accept-Language' header. Novell Messenger Messaging Agent is an enterprise instant messaging server for Microsoft Windows, Linux, and Novell Netware platforms. Novell GroupWise Messenger version 2.0 is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability via a long Accept-Language value without a comma or semicolon. By sending a specially-crafted HTTP request containing an overly long Accept-Language header to TCP port 8300, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the affected host.
