CVE-2008-1777
The eDirectory Host Environment service (dhost.exe) in Novell eDirectory 8.8.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a long HTTP HEAD request to TCP port 8028.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.31%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
