Title: Lotus Domino bad URL database Denial of Service Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
Lotus Domino 5.0.5 and 5.0.8 (French) are vulnerable to denial of services initiated by sending a specific malformed URL to the web server. By prefacing a database name with "/./" in a URL, access to that database can be disabled - eg, "http://server/./webadmin.nsf".
In order to affect the server the database must not be in use by the server at the time of attack. The exact mechanism by which this denial of service is made possible are not known at this time.
The French versions were reported vulnerable, but other versions may suffer from this issue as well.
Affected Products:
- Lotus Domino 5.0.5-french
- Lotus Domino 5.0.8-french
