NLSCCSTR.DLL in the web service in IBM Lotus Domino Server 6.5.1, 6.0.3, and possibly other versions allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (deep recursion and nHTTP.exe process crash) via a long GET request containing UNICODE decimal value 430 characters, which causes the stack to be exhausted. NOTE: IBM has reported that it is unable to replicate this issue.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old reported denial-of-service issue in IBM Lotus Domino Server web services. A remote request could allegedly crash the nHTTP.exe process, interrupting web access. The business risk is availability, not confirmed data theft. IBM reportedly could not reproduce the issue, so the evidence is incomplete. Exposure is most plausible where legacy IBM Lotus Domino Server 6.5.1 or 6.0.3 web services remain reachable, especially from untrusted networks. Other versions are only described as possible, not confirmed. Prioritize if legacy Domino web services are exposed or support critical workflows. If Domino is not present, the issue is not relevant. If present, handle as an availability risk with uncertain reproducibility. Mitigation focus: Inventory and isolate any legacy Domino web servers still in service.; Check IBM guidance for CVE-2005-0986 before selecting a remediation path.; Restrict external access to Domino web services where business use permits..
