Security Advisory: Lotus Domino Denial of Service Vulnerability during Notes authentication processing

 Dezember 21 2011 08:46:12 PM
Zeit jetzt aller spätestens ein Update einzuspielen :-(

Security Advisory CVE ID:
CVE-2011-1393
Fortiguard contacted IBM to report a denial of service attack when a malicious packet is supplied to the Domino Server via Notes RPC. For more information, see Fortiguard Advisory FG-VD-11-007 at http://www.fortiguard.com/.

If an attacker can monitor and record all communications between a Notes client and a Domino server then it is possible to crash the Domino server by modifying a specific packet, in a specific way, during a specific operation. 

Note: the use case cited by Fortiguard is very rare and, as such, requires careful coordination by the attacker.
