Overview
Novell NetWare 5.1 is a network management operating system that enables access to files, printers, directories, email, databases, and other network interfaces, as well as providing a web interface. There is an insecure default configuration that places several sample applications in the webroot. Remote users may be able to use these applications to gain sensitive information about the server's configuration, and passwords.
