Title: Lotus Domino MS-Dos Device Name Denial Of Service Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
Lotus Domino Server is an application framework for web based collaborative software. It runs on multiple platforms including Windows and Unix.
It is possible to cause a denial of services to legitimate users of the web server. MS-DOS device names (such as CON, AUX, PRN, etc.) are not sufficiently filtered out from web requests. Requests for MS-DOS devices are passed to the CGI handler (nhttpcgi.exe). Once a device is invoked, it is not released by the server. With multiple requests, it is possible to starve the available resources to create a denial of service condition.
A manual restart of the service is required to regain normal functionality.
