Stack-based buffer overflow in NWFTPD.NLM before 5.10.02 in the FTP server in Novell NetWare allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (abend) via a long DELE command, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-0625.4.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a legacy Novell NetWare FTP server flaw. An authenticated FTP user could crash the service or potentially run code on the server by abusing a vulnerable delete request. It matters most where old NetWare systems still provide FTP access to users or internal networks. Exposure is likely limited to legacy Novell NetWare environments running NWFTPD.NLM before 5.10.02 with FTP enabled. The attack requires valid FTP authentication, so anonymous or broadly shared FTP accounts would materially increase risk. Treat as high priority only if legacy NetWare FTP remains in use. If no NetWare FTP service exists, business urgency is low. If it does exist, prioritize containment and patch validation because the stated impact includes code execution. Mitigation focus: Identify all Novell NetWare systems running NWFTPD.NLM.; Update NWFTPD.NLM to 5.10.02 or later per Novell guidance.; Disable FTP service where it is no longer operationally required..
