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.
