Remote Manager in Open Enterprise Server (OES) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to read any arbitrary file, via a specially crafted URL, that allows complete directory traversal and total information disclosure. This vulnerability is present on all versions of OES for linux, it applies to OES2015 SP1 before Maintenance Update 11080, OES2015 before Maintenance Update 11079, OES11 SP3 before Maintenance Update 11078, OES11 SP2 before Maintenance Update 11077).

Unspecified vulnerability in Novell Open Enterprise Server (OES) 11 SP1 before Scheduled Maintenance Update 9415 and 11 SP2 before Scheduled Maintenance Update 9413 for Linux has unknown impact and attack vectors.

/opt/novell/ncl/bin/nwrights in Novell Client for Linux in Novell Open Enterprise Server (OES) 11 Linux SP2 does not properly manage a certain array, which allows local users to obtain the S permission in opportunistic circumstances by leveraging the granting of the F permission by an administrator.

The HTTPSTK service in the novell-nrm package before 2.0.2-297.305.302.3 in Novell Open Enterprise Server 2 (OES 2) Linux, and OES 11 Linux Gold and SP1, does not make the intended SSL_free and SSL_shutdown calls for the close of a TCP connection, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (service crash) by establishing many TCP connections to port 8009.

The installation functionality in the Novell Kanaka component before 2.8 for Novell Open Enterprise Server (OES) on Mac OS X does not verify the server's X.509 certificate during an SSL session, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers via an arbitrary certificate.

The SSL server implementation in NILE.NLM in Novell NetWare 6.5 and Novell Open Enterprise Server (OES) permits encryption with a NULL key, which results in cleartext communication that allows remote attackers to read an SSL protected session by sniffing network traffic.

The SSL server implementation in NILE.NLM in Novell NetWare 6.5 and Novell Open Enterprise Server (OES) sometimes selects a weak cipher instead of an available stronger cipher, which makes it easier for remote attackers to sniff and decrypt an SSL protected session.

The SSL server implementation in NILE.NLM in Novell NetWare 6.5 and Novell Open Enterprise Server (OES) allows a client to force the server to use weak encryption by stating that a weak cipher is required for client compatibility, which might allow remote attackers to decrypt contents of an SSL protected session.
