A vulnerability has been identified in Novell eDirectory, which could be exploited by remote attackers to cause a denial of service or compromise a vulnerable system. This issue is caused by a buffer overflow error in the "dhost" service when processing overly long HTTP requests, which could be exploited by remote attackers to crash a vulnerable server or execute arbitrary code via a specially crafted request.
