DESCRIPTION:
A security issue has been reported in Novell Open Enterprise Server,
which can be exploited by malicious users to bypass certain security
restrictions.

The security issue is caused due to incorrect permissions on the
Group Policy Objects directory and can be exploited to create new
files and delete or edit existing non-default policy files.

Successful exploitation requires that a DSfW domain is hosted by an
OES domain controller and non-default Group Policy Object has been
created.

The security issue is reported in version OES2 SP3.

SOLUTION:
Apply workaround (please see the vendor's advisory for details).

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Reported by the vendor.
