Answer
PROBLEM
When scanning remote machines using GFI LanGuard, Novell server/clients crash.
ENVIRONMENT
- Novell NetWare 6.x
- All Supported Environments
SOLUTION
An update patch available from Novell resolves this issue. More information on this issue and the update patch can be found at http://secunia.com/advisories/14874.
CAUSE
This occurs on machines which have their IP address assigned via DHCP and while GFI LANguard is scanning open ports for the identification of common services. Any writes on port 2049 will generate a crash on the Novell system.
