CVE-2010-0666: Unspecified vulnerability in eMBox in Novell eDirectory 8.8 SP5 Patch 2 and earlier allows remote attackers...

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2010-0666 is a legacy Novell eDirectory issue where a crafted SOAP request to eMBox can crash the service. The business impact is availability loss for directory-dependent systems, not confirmed data theft or privilege escalation. Public detail is sparse, so urgency depends on whether old eDirectory systems remain reachable. Exposure is most likely in organizations still operating Novell eDirectory 8.8 SP5 Patch 2 or earlier, especially where eMBox SOAP services are reachable from untrusted networks. Treat as a legacy availability risk. Prioritize if eDirectory supports authentication, identity, or business-critical applications, or if old systems are reachable beyond trusted administration networks. Mitigation focus: Inventory all Novell eDirectory deployments and confirm exact versions.; Review the Novell advisory and patch readme for vendor-approved updates.; Restrict eMBox/SOAP access to trusted administrative networks..
