Description:
Novell has released Support Pack 1 for Novell iChain. This reportedly fixes two vulnerabilities as well as multiple other non security related issues.
Reportedly, it is possible to conduct a timing attack in order to identify valid usernames. The problem is that the timeout is shorter when an invalid username is supplied compared to when the username is valid.
Furthermore, a user can be redirected to a malicious site by the redirect information in an URL.
Solution:
Apply Support Pack 1:

Changelog:
2003-07-07: Novell updated the link to the Support Pack.
