Description:
A security issue has been reported in Novell Access Manager, which can be exploited by malicious users to bypass certain security restrictions.
The security issue is caused due to the improper handling of the policy.txt file, which is created after a workstation connects to the SSLVPN server and downloads ActiveX controls. This can be exploited to e.g. access all web servers on the network by making the file read-only, disconnecting from the network, editing the policy.txt file, and then reconnecting.
The security issue is reported in version 3.0 IR1. Other versions may also be affected.
