What is CVE-2013-1085?

A stack-based buffer overflow exists in the nim: protocol handler of Novell GroupWise Messenger and Novell Messenger versions prior to 2.2.2. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending an import command that contains an excessively long filename parameter, allowing them to execute arbitrary code on the affected system remotely. This poses a significant security risk for users running the vulnerable versions.
