Summary:Novell GroupWise Messenger is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking when processing the 'name' value of a 'folder' tag. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted .nmx file, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system or cause the application to crash.
