Zero Day Initiative Advisory 09-016 - This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Novell Netware. A valid IPC$ connection must be established in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within xtagent.exe during the handling of RPC messages over the XTIERRPCPIPE named pipe. Insufficient sanity checking allows remote attackers to dereference an arbitrary pointer which can be leveraged to execute code under the context of the system user.
