Description

The SOAP interface to the eMBox module in Novell eDirectory 8.7.3.9 and earlier, and 8.8.x before 8.8.2, relies on client-side authentication, which allows remote attackers to bypass authentication via requests for /SOAP URIs, and cause a denial of service (daemon shutdown) or read arbitrary files. NOTE: it was later reported that 8.7.3.10 (aka 8.7.3 SP10) is also affected.

Affected products

Novell eDirectory: through 8.7.3.10; 8.5, 8.5.12a, 8.5.27, 8.6.2, 8.7, 8.7.1 (+6)
