Description

A vulnerability has been identified in Novell Groupwise possibly allowing local users to see usernames and passwords.

The problem is that certain clients use HTTP GET requests when logging on to the system, this causes the user credentials to be written to the web server log files. This allows users with local access to the server to see Groupwise usernames and passwords.


Solution
Novell has written a guide about how to change the configuration.
