abstract

Update to resolve a potential abend issue with CSATPXY.NLM and it's port 2000 listener. This is applicable for BorderManager 3.0, 3.5 and DNS/DHCP services and runs on NetWare 4.11 through 5.x. This is the CSATPXY.NLM that was released in NetWare 5.1.

installation

1. Extract this file to a temporary directory.

2. Rename the CSATPXY.NLM which exists in SYS:SYSTEM.

3. Copy the new CSATPXY.NLM from the temporary directory, to SYS:SYSTEM.

4. Restart the server.

issue

If a connection is made to port 2000, where CSATPXY.NLM is listening, and improper data is entered, CSATPXY may attempt to allocate a large amount of RAM, eventually causing the server to crash. This version of CSATPXY.NLM will now only allow 100K to be allocated at a time.

It is also recommended that, if Packet Filtering is running on your server, you modify the filters to not allow connections to port 2000 on your public interface.
