Vulnerability in Novell Netware

Date Published: 03/08/01

Advisory ID: n/a

Bugtraq ID: 2446

CVE CAN: None currently assigned.

Title: Novell Netware Print Server Vulnerability

Class: Configuration Error

Remotely Exploitable: Yes

Locally Exploitable: Yes

Vulnerability Description: Novell Netware allows a user to log into a
Novell Network by using a Printer Server as the username.  By default,
Novell Print Servers have blank passwords.  In addition, Novell Print
Servers do not have intruder detection capability as a user account would,
so they are vulnerable to a brute force attack without risk of account
lockout. When a Print Server is logged into as a User, the account will
have the same rights as are assigned to the container that it resides in.

Vulnerable Packages/Systems: Novell Netware 3.1-5.1

Solution/Vendor Information/Workaround: Vendor has not responded yet.

Vendor notified on: 11/02/00

Credits: Discovered by Chris Hughes <hughescj@usa.net>
