Vulnerability from variot
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Novell ZENWorks Remote Management. Access to a single node with Remote Management client installed and configured is required.The specific flaw exists within the storage of Remote Management authentication information on the client. The client utilizes a password stored in the registry that is common among all nodes. This can be exploited by an attacker to execute remote code on any target with the client installed. Novell ZENworks Configuration Management is a desktop management software that helps customers reduce their IT ownership costs. Novell ZENworks Server and desktop management have security vulnerabilities that allow malicious users to bypass some security restrictions. Novell ZENworks is prone to a security-bypass vulnerability. The following applications are vulnerable: Novell ZENworks for Servers 3.0.2 Novell ZENworks for Desktops 4 Novell ZENworks for Desktops 4.0.1 Novell ZENworks Server Management 7.ZSM7 SP1 Novell ZENworks Desktop Management 7.ZDM7 SP1. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
"From 2007 to 2009 vulnerabilities in a typical end-user PC almost doubled from about 220 to 420."
