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 Agent (NFRAgent.exe) when handling contents of a certain XML
tag. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via
specially crafted data sent to TCP port 3037.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code with
SYSTEM privileges.

The vulnerability is reported in versions prior to 1.0.2.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.0.2.
