http://www.zerodayinitiative.com/advisories/ZDI-10-178
September 15, 2010

-- CVSS:
10, (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C)

-- Affected Vendors:
Novell

-- Affected Products:
Novell eDirectory

-- Vulnerability Details:
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on
vulnerable installations of Novell Platespin Orchestrate. Authentication
is not required to exploit this vulnerability.

The specific flaw exists within how the application utilizes a bundled
component for rendering graphs. The application will pass user-supplied
arguments to this component without proper sanitization. An attacker can
abuse this to specify arbitrary arguments to this tool. Successful
exploitation will lead to code execution in the context of the graph
component application.

-- Vendor Response:
Novell has issued an update to correct this vulnerability. More
details can be found at:
