CERT-In Vulnerability Note CIVN-2008-0197
Novell Netware ApacheAdmin Security Bypass Vulnerability

Original Issue Date:December 26, 2008

Severity Rating: HIGH

Systems Affected

  • Novell Netware 6.5 Support Pack 7
  • Novell Netware 6.5 Support Pack 6
  • Novell Netware 6.5 Support Pack 5
  • Novell Apache 2.0.48

Overview

A vulnerability has been reported in Novell Netware, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions.

Description

Open Enterprise Server OES , a successor to Netware, is a platform for delivery of enterprise-level shared network services file, print, directory, clustering, backup, storage management, PKI, web applications etc. and common management tools that can run atop either a Linux or a NetWare kernel platform. OSE2 enables Novells NetWare users to run NetWare in a paravirtualized environment on top of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.

The vulnerability is that a password to the ApacheAdmin console is no longer required after installing an OES2 Linux server into a tree running on NetWare 6.5. This can be exploited to access the ApacheAdmin console and can alter the configuration of the Apache webserver.

Solution

Update to Support Pack8.
