This signature detects a known vulnerability against Novell File Reporter. It is due to insufficient bounds checking when handling SRS requests with multiple VOL tags. The resulting unbounded input can overflow a fixed size heap buffer. An remote unauthenticated attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by sending specially crafted requests to the server. Successful exploitation could result in a heap buffer overflow resulting in code execution with SYSTEM privileges.
Heap-based buffer overflow in NFRAgent.exe in Novell File Reporter 1.0.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a large number of VOL elements in an SRS record.
