iDEFENSE Security Advisory 2007-03-28.2

iDefense Security Advisory 03.28.07 – Remote exploitation of a heap overflow vulnerability in the LDAP component of IBM Corp.’s Lotus Domino Server 7.0.1 may allow a remote attacker to cause denial of service or execute arbitrary code. When a malformed request is made to the LDAP component of a Lotus Domino Enterprise Server, a heap overflow can be triggered. The vulnerability specifically exists in the handling of strings larger than 65535 bytes. When a string longer than this value is encountered, the service allocates memory using only the lower 16-bits of the string length. Since the entire string is subsequently copied into the newly allocated buffer, a heap-overflow occurs. This vulnerability has been confirmed to exist within versions 7.0.1 and 7.0.1.1 the Directory Service (LDAP) component of Lotus Domino Server.
