Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Novell GroupWise versions prior to 6.5.7

Description The issue is related to a stack-based buffer overflow that occurs when the HTML preview of e-mail is enabled. This allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long SRC attribute in an IMG element when forwarding or replying to a crafted e-mail.

Recommendations For versions prior to 6.5.7, update to version 6.5.7 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the HTML preview of e-mail to minimize the risk of exploitation.
