This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in Novell Netmail WebAdmin. A successful attack can lead to a buffer overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the server.
Novell NetMail is prone to multiple remotely exploitable buffer-overflow vulnerabilities because it fails to do proper bounds checking on user-supplied input. A successful exploit could let a remote attacker execute arbitrary code in the context of the affected application.
