Lotus Domino

CVE-2000-1046

Multiple buffer overflows in the ESMTP service of Lotus Domino 5.0.2c and earlier allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via long (1) "RCPT TO," (2) "SAML FROM," or (3) "SOML FROM" commands.

What this means for your business

  • It affects Lotus Domino. It matters if your company, or a supplier that handles your data, runs it.
  • An attacker can use it remotely, over a network.
  • FIRST's prediction model gives it a 6% chance of attack attempts being seen in the next 30 days, ranking above 93% of all known flaws.
