Lotus Domino /./ Request Database Locking DoS

medium Nessus Plugin ID 11718

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server is affected by a denial of service vulnerability.

Description

It might be possible to lock out some Lotus Domino databases by requesting them through the web interface with a special request containing a '/./' string in the URL path.

This attack is only efficient on databases that are not used by the server.

*** Note that no real attack was performed,
*** so this may be a false positive.

Solution

Upgrade to Lotus Domino 5.0.9 or later, as this reportedly fixes the issue.
