Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2002-0779 is a denial-of-service issue in the FTP proxy server component of Novell BorderManager 3.6 SP 1a. A remote attacker could make affected systems lose network connectivity by sending excessive random data to the FTP service. It matters mainly where this legacy proxy remains reachable on a production network. Exposure is most likely in legacy environments still running Novell BorderManager 3.6 SP 1a with the FTP proxy enabled and reachable from untrusted networks. Internet exposure would increase urgency, but the sources do not provide deployment prevalence. Prioritize remediation if BorderManager FTP proxy is exposed beyond trusted administration networks. For isolated or retired systems, urgency is lower, but legacy internet-facing proxy services should not remain reachable without strong controls. Mitigation focus: Disable the FTP proxy if it is not business-critical.; Restrict FTP proxy access to trusted source networks only.; Review vendor or legacy support guidance for available fixes or workarounds..
