SYSTEMS AFFECTED

    GroupWise 5.5 Enhancement Pack and GroupWise 6

PROBLEM

    Novell has discovered a security issue with GroupWise.  This issue
    only  affects  GroupWise  5.5  Enhancement  Pack  and  GroupWise 6
    customers.

    Novell is not releasing details  about the security issue at  this
    time so  that our  customers have  time to  secure their  systems.
    GroupWise  4.x,  5.0,  5.2,  and  5.5  servers and clients are not
    affected.  Customers with these versions need not apply the fix.

SOLUTION

    A fix, called the Padlock Fix, has been developed and is available
    on Novell's support Web site at:

        http://support.novell.com/padlock

    There is both a  server and client fix.   Once the Server  Padlock
    Fix is  applied, that  server and  its corresponding  workstations
    are secured.  The Client Padlock  Fix then needs to be applied  to
    return the overall system to optimum performance.
