I don't know if anybody cares about Novell Netware bugs in this list, but I thought I'd post it just in case. We've discovered (inadvertantly) a denial-of-service bug in the printserver mechanism. If an application attempts to print an extremely large file, the SYS volume will overflow, and crash the file server. I believe that the following would do it, but I have not tried.... void main(void) { while (1==1) printf("a"); } compile and run this with the output redirected to LPTx: which has been captured to a network printer. If this msg doesn't belong on bugtrack, please don't flame me, just ignore it, OK? dct #include <std_disclaimer.h> -- Dan Thorson -- Dan_Thorson@notes.seagate.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Seagate Technology - 920 Disc Drive - Scotts Valley, CA 95066 USA Main Phone 408-438-6550 - Email Problems postmaster@notes.seagate.com Technical Support: BBS 408-438-8771 Fax 408-438-8137 Voice 408-438-8222 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ### OGATE Version 8 message trace and attachment information: ### MsgFileName: m:\mgate\outbound\132.MSG ### Org Date: 08-18-94 09:26:29 AM ### From: Dan Thorson@SEAGATE ### To: bugtraq @ crimelab.com @ internet ### Subject: Novell Netware bug ### Attachments: none
