Description

This module exploits a code execution flaw in Novell ZENworks Configuration
Management 10 SP3 and 11 SP2. The vulnerability exists in the ZENworks Control
Center application, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to upload a malicious file
outside of the TEMP directory and then make a second request that allows for
arbitrary code execution. This module has been tested successfully on Novell
ZENworks Configuration Management 10 SP3 and 11 SP2 on Windows 2003 SP2 and SUSE
Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP3.
