What is CVE-2005-1976?

The Novell NetMail versions 3.5.2a, 3.5.2b, and 3.5.2c running on Linux improperly manage file permissions by assigning an owner and group ID of 500 to specific files. This misconfiguration potentially allows unauthorized users or groups with that ID to manipulate or execute those files, which could lead to arbitrary code execution or result in a denial of service. Addressing these vulnerabilities is crucial for maintaining the security and integrity of systems running Novell NetMail.
