CVE-2006-4520
ncp in Novell eDirectory before 8.7.3 SP9, and 8.8.x before 8.8.1 FTF2, does not properly handle NCP fragments with a negative length, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) when the heap is written to a log file.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.93%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
