http://secunia.com/advisories/14527/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Hijacking, Security Bypass

WHERE:
>From local network

SOFTWARE:
Novell iChain 2.x
http://secunia.com/product/1423/

DESCRIPTION:
Francisco Amato has reported a vulnerability in iChain, which can be
exploited by malicious people to bypass the user authentication.

The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the web GUI making it
possible to hijack an administrator's session and thereby gain
administrative access to the iChain server.

Successful exploitation requires that a person e.g. is able to sniff
traffic for the iChain server or gain knowledge of the authentication
cookie in another way.

SOLUTION:
The vendor recommends restricting access to the iChain server via the
web GUI (port 51100/tcp).
