COMMAND
Lotus Notes Domino Server
SYSTEMS AFFECTED
Lotus Notes Domino Server 4.6
PROBLEM
Following is based on ISS Security Advisory. Lotus Domino Server
is an integrated messaging and web application server. An
attacker can crash the Lotus Notes Domino server and stop e-mail
and other services that Domino provides for an organization.
There is an overflow problem in the Notes LDAP Service (NLDAP);
the service that handles the LDAP protocol. This overflow is
related to the way that NLDAP handles the ldap_search request. By
sending a large amount of data to the parameter in the ldap_search
request, an attacker can cause a PANIC in the Domino Server. This
will allow an attacker to stop all Domino services running on the
affected machine.
SOLUTION
Upgrade to Maintenance release 4.6.6 or 5.0.
