This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in the Novell Distributed Print Services. A successful attack can lead to a buffer overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the server.
Novell NetWare Distributed Print Services is prone to an integer-overflow vulnerability. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the context of the vulnerable application. Failed exploit attempts will likely cause denial-of-service conditions. Since the vulnerable application executes with administrative privileges, this may facilitate the complete remote compromise of affected computers.
