The version of Novell File Reporter (NFR) Engine installed on the remote Windows host is earlier than 1.0.2.53. As such, it reportedly has a flaw in its handling of HTTP requests to the TCP port used to communicate with the NFR Agent, normally 3035. Specifically, the application fails to check the size of user-supplied strings before using them in a call to memcpy when parsing tags inside the ‘<RECORD>’ element.
An unauthenticated, remote attacker with access to the service can leverage this vulnerability to corrupt the process thread’s stack, possibly resulting in arbitrary code execution under the context of the SYSTEM account.
