The remote host contains the NQMcsVarSet ActiveX control distributed with Novell NetIQ Sentinel Agent Manager.
The installed control is reportedly affected by a remote code execution vulnerability with the DumpToFile method where it does not properly sanitize the path for a filename. This could allow a remote attacker, with a specially crafted file or site, to traverse the directories to execute arbitrary code.
