Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in Novell GroupWise, which can be exploited by malicious users to bypass certain security restrictions.
The vulnerability is caused due to an error within the GroupWise Windows Client API. This can be exploited to gain programmatic access to certain non-authorised emails within the same authenticated post office.
The vulnerability has been reported in the following versions:
* Novell GroupWise 5.x
* Novell GroupWise 6.0
* Novell GroupWise 6.5
* Novell GroupWise 7
* Novell GroupWise 32-bit Client
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:
Apply updates.
GroupWise 6.5:
Apply SP6 Client Update 1 (dated 2006-06-27)
http://support.novell.com/filefinder/16963/index.html
GroupWise 7:
Apply GroupWise 7 SP1 (dated 2006-06-19)
http://support.novell.com/filefinder/20641/index.html
The vendor recommends users of unsupported GroupWise versions (5.x and 6) to upgrade to either GroupWise 6.5 SP6 Update 1 or to GroupWise 7 SP1.
NOTE: The vendor recommends that older Windows clients must be locked out via ConsoleOne after the update. If Blackberry Enterprise Server (BES) is installed in a GroupWise 7 environment then the lock out should based on client date rather than client version. The recommended lock out date is 2006-06-13 to ensure that the system is not vulnerable.
