This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in Novell Netmail. 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 a remotely exploitable buffer overflow vulnerability because it fails to do proper bounds checking on NMAP (Network Messaging Application Protocol) STOR command parameters. A successful exploit could let an authenticated remote attacker execute arbitrary code in the context of the affected program.
