The xdrDecodeString function in XNFS.NLM in Novell Netware 6.5 before SP8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (abend) or execute arbitrary code via a crafted, signed value in a NFS RPC request to port UDP 1234, leading to a stack-based buffer overflow.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
