What is CVE-2006-4511?

The Novell GroupWise Messenger Agent, specifically versions 2.0.2 and 1.0.6, is susceptible to a denial of service attack that can be triggered through a specially crafted HTTP POST request directed at TCP port 8300. This request contains a manipulated 'val' parameter that leads to a null dereference, resulting in a crash of the nmma.exe process. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability to disrupt service availability by causing a crash of the messaging agent, impacting user communications and operations.
