COMMAND
Lotus Notes SMTP Server
SYSTEMS AFFECTED
Systems using Lotus Notes
PROBLEM
Kapil Chowksey found following. There is a security bug in IBM's
Lotus Notes SMTP server. eg. An SMTP session:
helo a
250 notes.foo.com
helo b
500 Session already established. The domain name [b] passed in with HELO
will be ignored. The current domain name of sending SMTP is [a].
If the strings `a' and `b' are very long (2048 chars), the Notes
SMTP server starts consuming CPU and crashes. A remote denial-of-
service. The bug exists with Notes on both Solaris and Windows
platforms.
SOLUTION
No workaround known.
