Title: Novell GroupWise Network Directory Browsing Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
Novell GroupWise is a messaging system used across intranet and internet environments. GroupWise has various feature including scheduling, calendaring, email, document managemnt etc.
Due to a flaw within GroupWise, it is possible for a user to gain unauthorized access to all existing shares on a network.
When a user creates a new message in GroupWise and attempts to attach a file, a window appears (similar to Windows Explorer) for the user to select a path to the desired file. Unfortunately GroupWise does not verify system policies and enables access to all shares located on the network.
With NT policies and Zen policies implemented properly this vulnerability still exists.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could assist in further attacks and possibly lead to complete compromise of the host.
