CVE reference:
CVE-2008-2240 (Secunia mirror)
Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in IBM Lotus Domino, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks or potentially compromise a vulnerable system.
1) A boundary error within the Lotus Domino Web Server can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted HTTP request with an overly long "Accept-Language" header.
Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.
2) Certain unspecified input passed to the servlet engine/Web container is not properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.
Solution:
Update to version 7.0.3 Fix Pack 1 (FP1) or 8.0.1.
Provided and/or discovered by:
