Stack-based buffer overflow in the nim: protocol handler in Novell GroupWise Messenger 2.04 and earlier, and Novell Messenger 2.1.x and 2.2.x before 2.2.2, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an import command containing a long string in the filename parameter.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a remote code execution flaw in legacy Novell messaging clients. A specially crafted nim: protocol request can overflow memory and may let an attacker run code on a user’s workstation. Risk is highest where old GroupWise Messenger or Novell Messenger clients remain installed. Exposure is likely limited to environments still running the named legacy Novell Messenger or GroupWise Messenger clients, especially where nim: protocol handling remains registered on endpoints. Treat this as a high-priority legacy exposure cleanup. It is old, but remote code execution on user workstations is serious if affected clients remain deployed. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Novell Messenger 2.2.x deployments to 2.2.2 or later vendor-supported guidance.; Remove unsupported GroupWise Messenger or Novell Messenger clients from managed endpoints.; Check Novell support advisory guidance before applying operational workarounds..
