bugtraq id 2173 Lotus Domino Server

[Alan Bell]

Further information on this issue:

1) This issue has been reproduced on several versions of domino prior to 5.0.5
2) My testing has failed to reproduce this issue on Linux and OS/400 (AS/400)
3) To secure your boxes create 3 file protection documents for each server granting no access to the following paths.

/.nsf/../
/.box/../
/.ns4/../

the other common domino extensions .ns3 and .ntf do not appear to be vulnerable. This is not a Lotus supported solution (as yet) so there may be additional similar paths with this behaviour. You should watch http://www.notes.net for an upgrade which will probably appear as 5.0.6a.
