Heap-based buffer overflow in NFRAgent.exe in Novell File Reporter 1.0.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a large number of VOL elements in an SRS record.
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.
