Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in IBM Lotus Domino up to 6.5.4 FP2 (Groupware Software). It has been classified as critical. This affects an unknown function of the component Domino Web Access. The manipulation as part of a Rules leads to a denial of service vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-404. The product does not release or incorrectly releases a resource before it is made available for re-use. This is going to have an impact on availability. The summary by CVE is:

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in IBM Lotus Notes and Domino Server before 6.5.5 have unknown impact and attack vectors, due to "potential security issues" as identified by SPR numbers (1) GPKS6C9J67 in Agents, (2) JGAN6B6TZ3 and (3) KSPR699NBP in the Router, (4) GPKS5YQGPT in Security, or (5) HSAO6BNL6Y in the Web Server. NOTE: vector 3 is related to an issue in NROUTER in IBM Lotus Notes and Domino Server before 6.5.4 FP1, 6.5.5, and 7.0, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a crafted vCal meeting request sent via SMTP (aka SPR# KSPR699NBP).

The weakness was shared 11/04/2005 by Agent with IBM (Website). The advisory is shared at www-1.ibm.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2006-0119 since 01/09/2006. The attack needs to approached within the local network. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available.

It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 21778 (IBM Lotus Domino SMTP Server Malformed Meeting Request (vCal) DoS), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family SMTP problems and running in the context r. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 74216 (Lotus Domino SMTP Meeting Request Remote Denial of Service Vulnerability).

Upgrading to version 6.5.5 eliminates this vulnerability. Applying a patch is able to eliminate this problem. The bugfix is ready for download at www14.software.ibm.com. The best possible mitigation is suggested to be patching the affected component.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (27413), Tenable (21778), SecurityFocus (BID 16158†), OSVDB (20507†) and Secunia (SA17429†). The entries VDB-1872, VDB-1874, VDB-1873 and VDB-1870 are related to this item. If you want to get the best quality for vulnerability data then you always have to consider VulDB.
