TITLE:
Novell Client NetIdentity Agent Code Execution Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA34574

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/34574/

DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in Novell Client, which can be
exploited by malicious users to compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to an error in Novell NetIdentity
Agent within "xtagent.exe" when handling RPC messages over the
"XTIERRPCPIPE" named pipe, which can be exploited to dereference an
arbitrary pointer.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code, but
requires a valid established IPC$ connection.

SOLUTION:
Update Novell NetIdentity Client to version 1.2.4, build 1.2.612.
