The SSL server implementation in NILE.NLM in Novell NetWare 6.5 and Novell Open Enterprise Server (OES) permits encryption with a NULL key, which results in cleartext communication that allows remote attackers to read an SSL protected session by sniffing network traffic.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This vulnerability means some Novell SSL services could negotiate no real encryption. Traffic that appeared protected could be readable to someone able to observe the network path. The business risk is exposure of credentials or sensitive session data on legacy NetWare or OES deployments. Exposure is most likely in legacy environments still running Novell NetWare 6.5 or Novell OES services using NILE.NLM SSL. Internet-facing exposure is not established by the provided sources. Treat as a legacy confidentiality risk. Prioritize if any affected Novell systems remain in production, handle authentication, or traverse shared networks. Lower urgency if no NetWare 6.5 or OES assets exist. Mitigation focus: Check Novell support guidance for CVE-2006-0997 or TID 10100633.; Inventory NetWare 6.5 and OES systems running NILE.NLM SSL services.; If vendor guidance supports it, disable NULL cipher negotiation..
