CVE-2016-5747 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting Novell eDirectory versions prior to 9.0.1, specifically within the NDSD http stack's cookie handling. This flaw allows remote, unauthenticated attackers to bypass access restrictions due to predictable cookies, potentially leading to unauthorized information disclosure (CVSS 7.5).
