| Detailed Description |
The Novell Client software has a denial of service vulnerability in the 'srvloc.sys' file. Novell NetWare Client versions prior to 4.91 SP3 are vulnerable to a denial of service attack, caused by a vulnerability in the "srvloc.sys" component that does not properly handle malformed SLP packets sent to port 427. By sending a specially-crafted request to port 427, a remote attacker could cause a vulnerable application to crash.
* Note: This check requires an account with administrative privileges which can log into the host to scan. Absence of these condition will result in the check not being performed and a False Negative for all vulnerable hosts.
