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

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the File
Reporter Engine (NFREngine.exe) when parsing certain tags inside a
RECORD element. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer
overflow via specially crafted packets sent to TCP port 3035.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is reported in versions prior to 1.0.2.53.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.0.2.53.
