http://secunia.com/advisories/38030/

DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in Novell iManager, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the eDirectory
plugin when processing schema information. This can be exploited to
cause a stack-based buffer overflow when specially crafted schema
information is imported or exported.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

Apply SP3 for iManager 2.7 and update the eDirectory plugin to
version 2.7.3.
