Novell Client for Windows NWFILTER.SYS Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability

Novell Client for Windows is prone to a local privilege-escalation vulnerability because it fails to adequately handle user-supplied input.

Authenticated attackers with the privileges to invoke executables can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with kernel-level privileges.

Novell Client for Windows 4.91 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
