DESCRIPTION:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Novell GroupWise,
which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion
attacks, cause a DoS (Denial of Service), or potentially compromise a
vulnerable system and by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable
system.
1) An integer truncation error exists in
NgwiCalVTimeZoneBody::ParseSelf() within gwwww1.dll when GroupWise
Internet Agent parses the "TZNAME" variable in VCALENDAR data. This
can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a
specially crafted e-mail containing an overly long "TZNAME" property
value.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow execution of
arbitrary code.
2) A boundary error in GroupWise Internet Agent (gwia.exe) when
handling requests for certain .css resources can be exploited to
cause a limited stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted,
overly long request to the HTTP interface (port 9850/TCP).
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires valid
credentials to the service.
3) Input passed via the "Directory.Item.name" parameter when adding
an organization to the address book, via the
"Directory.Item.displayName" parameter when adding a new contact to
the address book, and via the "Directory.Item.name" when adding a new
resource to the address book is not properly sanitised in the
WebAccess component before being displayed to the user. This can be
exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be
executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site
if malicious data is viewed.
4) An unspecified error in GroupWise Internet Agent can be exploited
to crash the service via specially crafted data.
5) An unspecified error in GroupWise Internet Agent when parsing
weekday calendar recurrence (RRULE) variables in VCALENDAR messages
may allow execution of arbitrary code.
6) An unspecified error in GroupWise Internet Agent when parsing
weekly calendar recurrence (RRULE) variables in VCALENDAR messages
may allow execution of arbitrary code.
7) An unspecified error in GroupWise Internet Agent when parsing
certain yearly calendar recurrence (RRULE) variables in VCALENDAR
messages may allow execution of arbitrary code.
8) The software bundles a vulnerable version of Oracle "Outside In"
technology for viewing of various file attachments.
For more information:
SA44295
SA45297
The vulnerabilities are reported in version 8.0.2 HP2. Prior versions
may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Update to version 8.02 Hot Patch 3 or later.
