Description:
Francisco Amato has reported a vulnerability in GroupWise Client, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) or potentially gain escalated privileges.
The vulnerability is caused due a boundary error in the client when parsing the file containing the labels of different views (i.e. GWVW02??.INI). This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow when the client attempts to log into the post office.
Successful exploitation requires permissions to modify the GWVW02??.INI files, which is normally restricted to administrative users.
The vulnerability has been reported in version 6.5.
Do you have this product installed on your home computer? Scan using the free Personal Software Inspector. Check if a vulnerable version is installed on computers in your corporate network, scan using the Network Software Inspector.
Solution:
A fix is available in any build of GroupWise 6.5 client dated after 2005-07-15.
