This signature detects large e-mail messages (>12 MB) sent to Lotus Domino servers through a commonly published exploit. Attackers can cause Lotus Domino to exhaust all system memory and cause the service to stop responding.
Lotus Domino Server is reported prone to a remote denial of service vulnerability. The issue is reported to exist when a malicious email that is received on the affected server, is opened through the Domino Web Access interface by a client. A remote attacker may exploit this condition to deny Lotus Domino service to legitimate users.
