TYPE: Other Servers

Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in IBM Lotus Domino, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct HTTP response splitting and cross-site scripting attacks.

  1. Certain unspecified input is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTTP headers, which are included in a response sent to the user. This allows arbitrary HTML and script code to be executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.
  2. Certain unspecified input related to help and webmail is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.

NOTE: Vendor patch is currenly unavailable.
