Summary

Stack-based buffer overflow in Novell GroupWise Messenger before 2.0 Public Beta 2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long Accept-Language value without a comma or semicolon. NOTE: due to a typo, the original ZDI advisory accidentally referenced CVE-2006-0092. This is the correct identifier.

Metasploit

descriptionThis module exploits a stack buffer overflow in Novell GroupWise Messenger Server v2.0. This flaw is triggered by any HTTP request with an Accept-Language header greater than 16 bytes. To overwrite the return address on the stack, we must first pass a memcpy() operation that uses pointers we supply. Due to the large list of restricted characters and the limitations of the current encoder modules, very few payloads are usable.
