Hello list!
I'll give you additional information concerning advisory Multiple high risk
vulnerabilities in NetIQ Access Manager
(http://securityvulns.ru/docs31510.html). There are five different
vulnerabilities in the advisory. For my attack it's needed to use only one
vulnerability, XML External Entities Injection (XXE), to conduct attacks on
other web sites from target host.
-------------------------
Affected products:
-------------------------
NetIQ Access Manager version 4.0 SP1 and previous versions.
-------------------------
Affected vendors:
-------------------------
Novell.

Details:
----------
NetIQ Access Manager is vulnerable to XXE Injection.
Besides standard vectors of attacks with XXE Injection vulnerabilities (such
as local file inclusion), which are usually mentioned in advisories, XXE
Injection also allows to conduct attacks on other sites. And with using
DAVOSET (DDoS attacks via other sites execution tool) it's possible to
automate such attacks.
XML External Entities (XXE) (WASC-43):

I wrote about such attacks in my 2012's article "Using XML External Entities
(XXE) for attacks on other sites"
(http://lists.webappsec.org/pipermail/websecurity_lists.webappsec.org/2012-August/008481.html)
and 2013's "Using XXE vulnerabilities for attacks on other sites"
(http://lists.webappsec.org/pipermail/websecurity_lists.webappsec.org/2013-August/008887.html).
As I described in my articles, XXE vulnerabilities can be used for
conducting CSRF and DoS attacks on other sites (and at using multiple web
sites it's possible to conduct DDoS attacks). And my tool DAVOSET can be
used for conducting such attacks via XXE vulnerabilities.
Video demonstration of DAVOSET: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKi35-f346I
So all vulnerable versions of NetIQ Access Manager can be used for attacks
on other sites via XXE Injection.
