What is CVE-2010-4227?
The xdrDecodeString function within the NFS component of Novell Netware 6.5 prior to Service Pack 8 is susceptible to a vulnerability that can be exploited by remote attackers. By sending a specially crafted and signed value in an NFS RPC request directed to UDP port 1234, an attacker can cause a denial of service, potentially crashing the application, or may execute arbitrary code, leading to severe impacts on system integrity and security. This flaw underscores the importance of promptly applying security updates and monitoring NFS interactions.
