Bug vulnerability classWeak Authentication
Bug descriptionThe Novell Groupwise 6.0 servlet server is configured with the default password. As a result, users could be denied access to mail and other servlet based resources.
Bug solutionNovell has published an advisory and workaround in TID 10067329. The server should be deactivated or de-installed if not necessary. To make it harder to find the server the daemon could be configured to listen at another port (e.g. 8081). Try to prevent unwanted connection attempts by filtering traffic with firewalling. Alternation of the application banner can confuse an attacker and let him determine the wrong software.
