The xdrDecodeString function in XNFS.NLM in Novell Netware 6.5 before SP8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (abend) or execute arbitrary code via a crafted, signed value in a NFS RPC request to port UDP 1234, leading to a stack-based buffer overflow.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a legacy Novell NetWare NFS flaw. A network attacker could send a malformed NFS RPC request to UDP port 1234 and crash the server or potentially run code. Business risk is highest where old NetWare 6.5 systems still provide NFS and are reachable from untrusted networks. Exposure is likely limited to legacy Novell NetWare 6.5 hosts running XNFS/NFS before SP8. Internet or broad internal reachability to UDP 1234 materially increases risk. Treat as high priority if NetWare 6.5 remains operational. The vulnerability combines remote reachability, service crash impact, and possible code execution, but exposure is constrained to a legacy platform. Mitigation focus: Identify any Novell NetWare 6.5 systems running XNFS/NFS.; Upgrade affected NetWare 6.5 systems to SP8 or later vendor guidance.; Restrict UDP 1234 to trusted management or NFS client networks only..
