The client in Novell GroupWise 8.0x through 8.02HP3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption and application crash) via a long e-mail address in an Address Book (aka .NAB) file.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2011-4189 affects legacy Novell GroupWise 8 clients. A specially crafted Address Book file could crash the client or potentially run attacker-controlled code. Business urgency depends on whether any affected GroupWise clients remain in use, especially where users can receive or open .NAB address book files. Exposure is likely limited to organizations still running Novell GroupWise 8.0x through 8.02HP3 clients. Systems are more exposed where users can receive, import, or open external .NAB files. Modern environments without this legacy client are unlikely to be affected based on the supplied sources. Treat as high priority only if legacy GroupWise 8 clients still exist. The vulnerability can affect endpoint integrity, but the evidence does not show current exploitation. If affected clients are found, upgrade or retire them promptly because legacy client-side RCE issues are difficult to manage safely. Mitigation focus: Inventory and remove affected GroupWise 8.0x through 8.02HP3 clients.; Check Novell support guidance for fixed builds or upgrade paths.; Restrict or quarantine unexpected .NAB Address Book files..
